WTF??? This is so confusing.

Milwakee Bicycles sells them too...

From thier website...
"• 42mm Chainline +/- 0.5mm when used with 110.5mm Bottom Bracket. *Crank bolt toque should be 350-400 in/lbs. "

I had thier Andel's on my Rush Hour. The stock BB on the RH is 110.5. I had a good chainline.
I'm going with 110.5 on my Alien build.

Nice build btw.

Alien bike is made in Taiwan (100% sure)
and Kilo TT is made in China (not 100% sure but I assume so)

Beautiful bike. Jcapell I have a question for you, I am looking to get an alien next summer 09' I see you have a 59cm frame just curious how tall are you? I am 5'11" and I am torn between a 57 or 59. I know its all about personal preference but just trying to get some sizing ideas since it will be impossible for me to actually get measured on one.

Thanks

Get the 59 - they run small.

According to their sizing chart it looks like that to me. I think I will go with the 59 when ready, thanks.

They don't "run small", they just size them c-t. Reference the chart and look for c-c and that's what you need.

C-C, C-T, Whatever. Reading the size chart, you'll notice that Aliens 61 is roughly equivalent to most manufacturers 59's, their 59's equivalent to 57's etc, etc.

I call that running small.
