Cattywompus.....I LIKE your thinking! unfortunately, I can't afford to do that.....too often.... My 14 year old has been bugging me to tear into his 86 Team Fuji and replace the BB. I found one at a garage sale, still in the box, Suntour Superbe. His old BB was a little rough, but at the time, we could find NO replacements in town other than a cartridge, so I just did my best with it and put it back together. Guess I will yank that BB and put it in some "Flipper" or something.....and he will be happy....and my supply chest will be emptier! We already replaced his Suntour Sprint RD with a Superbe I found....He LIKES his Fuji and Vintage Suntour.
