I still don't understand why people sell framesets with the BB. Is it just because it's a consumable part? Chances are the new owner is going to have to change it anyway so why not keep it?

I would loose a ton of money on many of my personal bikes, but that is because I ride a lot of new equipment. I just bought a 2002 Marin Treviso frame to replace my 2000 Marin Treviso frame (a significant upgrade IMO) and I'll sell the old one with the 1" Easton EC90sl fork and loose money on it, but I road and enjoyed the frame for 2 seasons so I don't feel I've lost anything. If I were to sell my touring bike, my sport touring, my fixed gear (which is in piece right now) my cross bike, or my grocery getter I'd loose money on all of them, so I intend to get my money back from the miles of enjoyment.

Ratfink, I like your style!
