First of all if I'm doing something wrong forgive me for being a noobie. There are two questions I have. The first is high priority.
I purchased this bike about a month ago and got a great deal on it. I got such a good deal on it, I overlooked this huge weld around where my seat tube inserts to the BB shell. I obviously saw the large black painted area, but attributed it to someone covering up chipping paint caused by sweat corrosion, etc. I've been building the groupset on it and saw this when I was changing my crank. I'm well invested into this project as it will be my commuter/weekend/everything bike. I'd love to keep riding it if this thing is safe. Any thoughts/advice?
Secondly, I just bought a nice late 80s/early 90s campagnolo chorus crank to replace my other campy chorus crank... the new one has a nice stamp on it and its shiny.. I knew when I was buying it that I would probably need a longer spindle. The only problem is, I am having a hard time determining what spindle length I need.
Thanks in advance
