Even one of my mechanics at work is getting the jump on the French bike theme and got a an interesting frame to make a bike from for Cirque 05.

Lee was cleaning it up today and discovered that someone had done something odd to the bottom bracket (I'd like to say MANGLED, but maybe there is more to this then what meets the eye) that I've never seen before. Its almost as if it is chamfered as opposed to properly faced, but not in a perfectly smooth and symmetrical way, its got little scallop marks in the chamfered area.

Is this for the famed Mavic bottom bracket, or did someone just torture a perfectly good blue Peugeot?
