Kory York K2

What if Cannondale were to revive its legendary Cannondale Track, back in its pure, original form? We were all somewhat disappointed when each revival was nothing like the original. Enter Kory York, a small Italian company, set on the belief that handcrafting is the real key to doing it better. Inspired by, or should I say to pay homage to the legend, Kory York released the K2, taking it into their own hands to give what the people yearned for. Ever since they released the K2 model back in 2017, I was obsessed in this modern recreation of the original Cannondale track. Few years later, I finally saved up enough to build my dream bike from my childhood. Maintaining the tight geometry, if not tighter than the original, this bike rides even better than it looks. I also opted for a custom paintjob, based on the original Icelandic green with golden logos that glimmer in the sun. Continuing on with the modern revival theme, the whole bike is built up using modern counterparts of classic parts: deep section carbon rims from light bicycle laced to Mack hubs with a combination of high and low flange, inspired by the Zipp 440 wheelset with some flare; Rotor cranks with an AARN chainring, paying homage to the Sugino CHCD cranks, etc. Switching between couple of cockpits to go with the bike, the drops are of a modern compact silhouette, and the riser setup straight from the 90s. To make the bike comfortable for longer rides, I opted for a simple looking cutout saddle. Here I present my pride and joy: 2021 Kory York K2, my dream build after 8 years of riding strictly fixed gear bikes. I dedicate this bike, to my past grandfather. Guiding me through my life, just as this bike does.
