OK.. It turns out that it is just bearing seal drag causing the issue; so no worries. The bike is currently sitting in my living room with BB/cranks off, and no wheels. I had to return the wheels to my Langster so I could tune it up before my girl gets back from vacation (she rides the Langster).

I took the cog and lockring off the wheel though, and was hoping to use them for my Fuji(when the wheels arrive). The lockring is a stamped metal POS so that isn't going to be reused, but the cog is a Surly model. It looks pretty well made but for some reason sheldonbrown.com says "not recommended". I haven't dug into this yet, but that is my next step..
