Don't worry about a few grams and get chro-moly spindles
oh okay, I thought the requirements were purely weight based.
but anyway, yeah I'm really not worried about a few grams, honestly, I'm not too concerned about the weight of my ride.
Also, it's a old Peugeot that I converted to fixed. I believe it's a '71. The BB, spindle and cranks were all original until I broke the first one. Then, since its a french BB and the cups were still good, I replaced that spindle with another used one of unknown materials. Granted, I probably should've gotten a new one at that point, but it was the cheap way to go and I honestly just thought the first time was a fluke. Now that I have this other frame with English BB threads, I'm looking to get a brand new one in there.
