The spacer's still there. Wiggles just a bit but it still seems to be snug. As far as the BB, i'm not really sure. Never dealt with it before so i'm not too aware of all the differences between the American, Spanish, Mid and European, other than the Euro uses a cup that threads into the frame. The bike seems to be a Poverty Buck99 cus it has the Diamondback forks that I had read some of them have. Yea, it's not all that but it's actually ridden alright till I get the chance to move onto somethin better. Just tryin to get it rideable again untill that happens ya know?
