and onto the ISIS thing-- yuck. ive seen way too many failed ISIS BBs, and even ****ed up crank arms that start loosening up. IMO octalink is a better interface, and seems to have a lower failure rate from what ive seen. everything is going to 2 peice, but there will still be lots of people like me searching for that NOS titanium square taper BB, regardless of the added flex.
Even when I worked in shops I didn't buy a whole lot of CK new because of the price. I do miss wholesale pricing. I kinda wish I could flip through QBP catalogs still.
Oh, and I heart octalink.
