Bottom bracket is toast. Went to Urbane to find out definitively what size spindle I need thinking that since they built the bike and apparently sell about a jillion of them they were going to be the absolute authority on what BB I needed.

The parts desk guy wasn't totally sure so he asked around and came back. "110 dude, although we don't have any in stock, come back next week". No problem, I buy everything from that shop and don't mind waiting a week 'cause I've had nothing but good experience. A week passes, I grab the bottom bracket saying "yeah dude, I need the bottom bracket on the speciale fixed". No problem, dude grabs me a UN54.

I go home, just took my old bottom bracket out and sure enough right there printed underneath the word "Truvativ" is the numbers "108/68"....

I'll see how the chainline looks but man, how does that even happen? God damn
