I will say this. Your decision to go with a custom Ti bike fits with your allegiance to threaded BB's.
You pretty much have to go custom moving forward because threaded BB's are going the way of the 8 track.
I am getting a custom Ti bike because I want a light bike with rack and fender mounts for commuting. Would like to keep the weight under 17 lbs including the rack (but not fenders) :-)
OP, sorry for the thread hijack. It looks like you should take your bike to a competent mechanic to validate the original install.
