As promised, some pictures of the Bottechia.
As you can see, the BB shell doesn't look so nice.
Can anyone verify the workmanship of this (assumed mid-low-end) frame?
Compared to some newer .IT and .CO.JP BB shells this thing looks like poo.

BTW, anyone (Cavernmech?) know where I can get a french BB shell faced and chased. I toasted the BB cups in my frame with minimal milage-perhaps 2000 km. I had the BB adjusted *just* tight enough to eliminate play, but still I had binding at one spot during spindle rotation. I suspect the the BB faces aren't parallel-or the LH RH threads aren't cut on the same axis-or both. Don't want to wreck another set of french cups.

I wore my balaclava and clear shades. Any less would have frozen off my face, especially because I am usually out the door about 5 minutes after shaving.

Not that I'm a furry monster or anything, but I stopped using a razor almost as soon as I had a need for it. I just clip and go around w/ perma-scruff.
