this problem here has been the bain on my existence and my one and only complaint about my Steamroller.

Now, mine is different than all of yours, I have the very first seriese with the straight Chain stays, the brownish red color and the 1" threaded headset.

When I first set it up i had an old Sugino Aero Maxy crank on a Dura Ace double BB and it worked fine. When i really started to get into making it nice i got a set of Sugino 75 cranks and the matching BB. I got it all put together and the cranks wouldnt spin cause they overlapped the stays by more than 2 or 3mm. Bummer.

I put them on the DA and rode it for years. The DA had an axle length of 113mm and for the Sugino's that left me a few mm's on each side.

When I started to really get killed by the Campy bug and wanted to replace the work-worn 75's i got a new model Campy Pista crank and wound up having to use one of the 115.5mm AC-H BB's. Same situation here but since the Campy have a much smaller Q and sit further onto the BB so I had to get an even bigger BB...

I've been riding the Pista's for a month or so and i really love them, one day i'll get a new bike and im sure i'll miss all these little character defining traits of the ol steamroller.....
