It just so happens that I received an email from Andrea Cinelli today in response to a question that I asked on behalf of Angel Garcia. Andrea wrote in his email that the use of the Giorgio Fischer (sic) BB shell required 4 hours of hand-filing per frame for the BB only! I wonder how much time it takes on average to build a whole modern frame!? Anybody willing to trade a GF BB for a whole frame?
