Well I have gotten this far on another "non-factory/factory looking" Trek project. This was/is a 1983 model 613 frameset that I received in trade from Chalres Wahl. It was originally red and actaully shedding its paint for some odd reason. Anyway, dreams of a "pass hunter" style bike and a small budget led me to Bilenky Cycle works for paint and some braze-ons. JR Restore (from C&V) supplied the decals.

I am moving in less than a month and will soon have a C&V house to take up my time and excess project energy.
In light of that, I am scrambling to finish my bike related projects prior to 3/10. In that frame of mind, I ordered some parts from Velo Orange including a Gran Cru (house brand ) cartridge style BB. The orignal Nervar spindle was shot and measured 117mm. The VO bb is 116mm.
Please see the pictures and let me know if it looks to be installed backwards. The gap on the non-drive side looks large to me. Is it possible to install this type of BB backwards? I can't remember the last time I used one of these. Thanks!
