no sir! the flaw with those cranks is the teeth on the crank arma dn the teeth on the spider are not the same shape.

Since the repair I have had no issues with my cranks I am a heavy weight rider and have done plenty of skids and other things that have in the past caused hubs to fail for me..

Are.you.****ing.serious? This company deserves to go out of business if they're telling you to rig up a faulty product and wait a few months until they can hook you up. I mean, isn't this where the CPSC comes in and orders a recall for the continued failure (and likely danger) of this product? Man, FSA continues to disappoint me...

I have a Puch that I got for $5 and used as a conversion for a long time (looks just like yours) Hell of a bike, beat it to into the ground but it kept rising back up.
-do you have hearts brazed on the downtube? (look at it from underneath)

Did you thread the threadless Soma fork? I was told that that was NOT advisable to do so. I really like the the Soma fork, but wasn't sure if it was advisable to thread the steerer tube or buy another brand fork.

Its a 1986-ish Nishiki I got at Goodwill for $15 in great shape. Most of the parts are from my old Azuki conversion which was a hair small... this fits me better and is a little nicer tubeset. Still rides smoothly but is a bit stiffer and more responsive. 42x16 for the big hills on my way to work and downtown. I'm really happy with the riding position, comfort, and aesthetics of the North Road + Technomics stem. Click for larger pics.

I say "Puke".
Then again, I also say "univagrant" and other such bikeshop witticisms, so I'm not to be trusted.
