Well... There goes that frame. Maybe one will pop up on goodwill

It was a cheap bike that gave me ~10 years of it's time (that being said: I think I've ridden my new road bike more miles this year that I did ever my MTB)
There's no need to give up on the frame just yet -- Velo-Orange offers a threadless cartridge BB. Not cheap, but should last long enough to be worth it.
