Bottom Bracket facing in So Cal
Anyone know of a good shop in the Murrieta/Oceanside/San Diego or South OC area that could properly face an American bottom bracket on a cr-mo BMX frame?
This seems to be quite a feat nowadays. I'd also like to get an aluminum head tube faced but the bottom bracket is my main priority. Any tips would be appreciated. |

If Chuck is too grouchy, there's also Cyclart in Vista. The admin office isn't super fast or efficient, but Greg and the crew in the back do excellent, meticulous work. Good luck and let us know how it goes. |
Thanks for the tips! I'll call both of them tomorrow!
Keeping my fingers crossed! |

I'd check with Chuck at Pacific Coast Cycles first. He's a bearded retro-grouch, so if you go down there expecting immediate service (for him to do it right there while you wait) or ask for a discount, please don't tell him I referred you.

Have you asked any of your local shops if they can do this? Maybe it's just me, but any shop that cannot do this should not be in business. It's like being told the mechanic can only true them your wheels, but not tension them. If I had the tools, I'd offer to do it for you.

LBS's ain't what they used to be. But then bikes ain't either; a bike used to last and it was maintained by men with more whiskers than facial piercings. Alas, not any longer. Dude. |

Indeed, maybe it is just you. ;)
