well, the mechanic detected teh play in the FD, and tightened a screw somewhere, not sure where cause i didn't pay close enough attention. i'll check the chainring bolts this evening. i don't think i have tools or expertise to tighten/repair a bb.

remote possibility of cracked frame/bb shell - how would this happen (does it mean i get a new bike?? )? i've not been in any wrecks and the bike is babied.
