actually, it is a second rig...for travel/guests/whatever. My DeBernardi is going on the Velo this season (grad school permitting), so I need a streettrack machine. Otherwise...coming soon to an Emerald City near YOU!

nice! we got a nice 'drome out here for ya (marymoor). it's great: you can take the burke-gilman trail from seattle, around northern half of lake washington, and out to lake sammamish (where marymoor is). a good 30 mile ride. i hope to get out there this upcoming season.

Is this move a long-term one? Will you be racing at Marymoor? Sorry if I missed some news while I was away. I think you'll enjoy it here.

Well if you have to pull the bottom bracket out to put the spacer in try fliping the spindle in the cups first and see if it corrects your problem.

Cold setting a steamroller is easy beans quick and cheap. I would have a shop do it because they'll finish by straightening the trackends which is alot harder to do at home.

Try Bicycle Habitat, Hal realigned my fork for me. I am sure he can do your frame, if he can't he will tell you.

hey 165, i was wondering if there were any exposed threads coming out of the lockrings on the adjustable cup side of the bottom bracket, cause there are on mine.

if anyone else has this setup (sugino 75 109mm bottom bracket, on steamroller frame), your contributions are also welcome.

just in case you forgot, i wanted to know if anyone of you guys have some threads exposed on the adjustable side...
oh yeah, its about another 5mm of exposed threads on the adjustable side on mine
