I have requested Hubbub to install Token Isis titanium bottom brackets with ceramic bearings, available from www.tufonorthamerica.com.
The Calfee crank is interesting. It isn't listed at Calfee's web site. Apparently it is a rebranded crank of Taiwanese manufacture. It has some similarities to this Token carbon ISIS triple, which would go along with the scenario of a Taiwanese firm that had a carbon ISIS triple making up a tandem specific version at Calfee's request.
