We've noticed that on a few other Macchiato frames. I'd be curious to know how long the frame is measured from the center of the front ecceentric bottom bracket to the center of the rear bottom bracket and how that compares to the other Macchiato's owned by members of this list.

I almost did the black ano crank arms as well, but held off as Debbie had a tendency to ride with her heels 'in' which has created deep impressions in all of her daVinci crank arms. I've yet to come up with a permanent way of preventing her heels from over-rotating, otherwise I'd definitely have our anodized as well. They look very sharp.

Did you go with the chomoly, premium titanium, or proprietary titanium BB's for the front and rear or a mix?
