ascherer, nice work. If you buy or build yourself a cotter press, you will find the bottom bracket job to be pretty easy, and you'll be able to reuse your cotters.

Velognome, I don't know about this bike. Is there a thread about it?

Conradpdx, I've done Costco runs, but not 20 miles. My Costco is 4 miles from me. I towed my kiddie trailer. I carried as much stuff as people carry when they drive to Costco. In a sense, I did it as a proof-of-concept ride. I did it at night in the winter so I could tell others that they can do it in the day in the summer. My 3-speed has a gigantic rear cog, so that helps a lot, as it lowers all of my gears. The hills I had to climb aren't steep, but with the weight and the bike's weight and sluggishness, it wasn't exactly a breeze. But it was well worth doing, and I had a nice time.
