Heh, you should hear my bike, creaks like hell when I put my weight on the pedals, is that the bottom bracket? Why does that happen? (used to happen on my old KHS Sport too), I'm sending my bike to my LBS (hah, thank god for 1 year of free maintenance, repair and tune ups) but really, I'm just curious.

P.D: By the way, that lurch is coming off nicely, I can already drop off stuff and lurch off pivots! But still, I need more practice.
