The silver spacers look dull in the picture but they are actually pretty shiny and match my nice polished AL stem. I was looking for a modern version of the classic polished "7" stem. After further inspection, it is not the face of the BB that is off. The threads are crooked and the bearing cups are not going in straight. The LBS used a hand tap to chase the threads so either they were bad from the factory or they mucked them up. I suspect they got the tap in crooked. I got to find someone who has one of those thread chasers that aligns to the BB shell. Either that or someone who wants to lend me one.

The receiver on the bench is another project that I am waiting for parts for.
