Folks: It finally happened, just as I was out this afternoon thinking what a good mileage base I had been building, the dreaded creaking sound that many of us had heard before. No it wasnt my knees, but a cracked BB shell. Finally, after thaousands of miles my main ride gave up. The crack follows the BB shell nearly all oround and I walked the last ten blocks home. I was sick. Now I LOVE this bike. I will do some search to see if there can be a repair. I remember a discussion a few weeks (months?) ago that someone discussed that the BB shell was a cheap stamping. I was sorry that I defended the maker, as it seems he may have been right. I have climbed mountains on this thing and want it back. But in the meantime, I had hoped someone would be willing to part with their neglected and unloved frameset and I could rebuild it with my parts. Pa...leaeeeeese find it for me. Bruce
