I'm glad to hear this. With all the positive feedback I've heard about the big block, I actually am now in contact with a bike builder and will be building one around the BB's geometry During this process, and thanks to [MENTION=9822]sea[/MENTION]u, I discovered that the bike I'm currently riding is way too small, but figured that buying a new big block would still be somewhat of a lateral move. So I figured I'd rather buy once, cry once, and have a bike with the lugwork I want as well as getting a proper fit with it. I called around to several All City dealers in my area and none of them were much help so I said screw it, I'll figure it out myself.

How do you guys like your BB's for 50+ mile-ish distances, at slow speeds, and down descents? I have a 15 mile route that I normally do that I really like sprinting through, but I occasionally extend it to a slightly longer ride which is 45 miles which has two hills at either end.
