Cannondale return to the track market after much speculation over 2014 with the CAAD10 Track 1 complete. Taking most of the geometry and the incredible light weight of the road model, this is a seriously aggressive, responsive aluminium track bike.

Sold complete and track ready, the CAAD10 Track 1 boasts some decent kit. Mavic's highly rated Ellipse track wheelset is stiff and accelerate well. The SRAM Omnium is pretty much the classic modern track crank, renowned for it's stiffness and is perfectly paired with a Shimano Dura Ace sprocket, giving you a beefy 48 x 16 ratio. The Fizik Arione is a good looking and high quality saddle, and Cannondale supply the remaining finishing kit. RRP is £1499.00, which we thnk is pretty decent for the standard of components. Available from Bespoke now.

You'll be surprised at the light weight, the high quality finish and the ride quality. There's still life in aluminium!

Undrilled bridge keep this firmly fixed. The carbon fork is drilled to accept a brake though.

There's some great profiling to the tubes on the chainstays.
