So, the crank arm issue means any double with an external bottom bracket will not work? @Barrettscv, I didnt quite catch if you are still in the building stage or if you are now riding. If the latter, I wold be curious to hear your impressions.

I just bought a used Schwinn World Street as my winter ride. It's okay, but the lack of drops and tire clearance (I run 40mm studded tires and would like space for fenders) leaves me wishing that my Fargo wasn't quite so pricey, and so could be sacrificed to the salt gods. Long & short, I would like to hear more about this frame,as I would consider a swap in a year or 2.
