the BB is off. I think it's your basic italian thread, but if not I'm screwed because I had to bugger the old one up to get it off. It could still be used, but it's not pretty. The chrome was in bad shape, and the frame is halfway sanded now. it would be moreso, but I ran out of sandpaper....

So uh... I guess I decided it's worth it. With the bb out I judge it weights a bit over 5 pounds.
