Cannondale SR400 fixed gear conversion.
The frame cracked a few days ago. As expected with an old Cannondale. It's very enjoyable while it lasted though.
My other aluminum bike is my MTB. It is pretty basic but it works very well for what I do with it. I might upgrade to disk brakes in the future.

If you need a frame to transfer fixed gear parts to, I have a finish-restored yellow 63cm 1974 Le Tour frameset for sale.

Rattus All Terrainus
Man, that 'dale was awkward looking. Gonna be tough to replace
Epic thread dredge is epic.
That was a stock size/color for that year/model. I've seen more than a few of them, but I'd wager many have cracked and failed.
I just got yelled at by a fellow member... the grip nor the seat are touching the brick wall lol.
One last thing, BOMBSHELL RACING, JW MACHINE AND DESIGN, ODI, AL's Rapid Transit and of course PROFILE RACING out of Fla. All helped on this project & their WICKED AWESOME parts. The Hogs are exquisite to say the least and for the most part I wanted to put them in my curio cabinet for display because they are genuinely a work of art. The bombshell racing brake lever with indexed adjustment... Awesome and there's crank, bottom bracket and chainring are again absolutely works of art. There are so many companies out there in the United States right now trying to provide the best parts and service as possible but as we all know with covid-19 thing it has been difficult to get parts. That's when I started calling U.S.A. company's and getting GREAT results. Like with me...if they didn't have what I was lookin for they made it and came through. BOMBSHELL, JW BMX & PROFILE RACING all were freakin AWESOME!
Just ask and I might be able to point you in the right direction and it's not all based on the size of your wallet either. I'm just a little guy in the Metro Detroit area and they helped me

The PM's are all welcome but just ask on her so & I'll put it out there. I'm telling ya...they will and love doin it for guy's like us. Even if you think it's hokey I can communicate for you and get ya set up.
I've been around for a minute & (know a guy) so it's nothing to me to help. Let's just keep it going no matter how and I will put you in direct contact so you don't think for a second I'm here to make a buck. I don't care about that, I care more about the hobby.
My passion comes out in the amount of letters I type I guess maybe.
Pop a wheelie & skid brothers & sisters.
Here's one of mine as it was a while back. It's always in a state of flux with changes happening all the time. When I get a chance, I'll post some updated pics showing it as it is now with a Girvin fork. 8)
Thanks to whoever brought this thread back to life. I forgot about @Tater 's awesome Felt faux rivet build. I think this one had at least one more incarnation afterwards.
This knee action front fork is awesome...most serious intent.My aluminum build, handmade frame and fork:
Gotta have one.
