Or should I be looking at an aftermarket Crank/BB set all together..?
The Record BB is compatible with Chorus and visa verse, the Centaur is compatible with Veloce and visa verse. In the Zinn article that I referenced earlier he mentioned that some braze on frnt dr will not drop enough to work with a compact set up. He seemed to infer that it is hit or miss.
