More Info:
The name, Crackles, comes from the shortening of "Cannondale and Track" into "Crack." Crack just didn't sound right as a bike name, so it evolved into Crackles.

Thanks! I actually don't really miss either of the Cannondales too much...they're so stiff that they would always beat up my body after really long rides.

Wow! Amazing Cannondale Track. I've stripped and polished a few frames in my day, but this came out beautiful. One of my favorite bikes of all time. Love the fork too.

I've got an old FC-7400 crank as well and was wondering what length spindle you chose on the bottom bracket?
