Rithem,

I've already made the repair. It cost almost nothing for the part and about 45 bucks for the tools I needed. and there is no disrespect taken, my biks isn't Basically a department store bike, it is a department store bike. I am just starting to figure out just what kind of crap it it is.

Mondoman,

So I am unable to upgrade the BB at all? That sucks balls! what If I got a complet new cranksset. My long term plan is to buy decent components for this frame and then [eventually] buy a decent frame. Is this a stupid plan? I just had a newborn child so anything above 150.00 at one time is pretty much out of the questions...which means a new bike is out of the question.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
