    Do you know what length you need? BB drop is the BB spindle centerline below wheel axle centerlines, the shell (68) is the diameter is the BB opening.

    You need to measure with everything installed. I think mine is a 107 which should work.

    i have no idea i guess. max do you know? everything installed?

    You have to measure the rear axle chainline with the wheel, hub, cog installed. Which with a track frame is usually 42mm. Then the front chainline is measured with the BB, cranks, and chainring installed. Again depending on cranks, etc the front BB on track frames is usually 107-110mm, which makes a 42mm chainline in front.

    Basically we'll just throw it on and see if it works, it'll probably be close enough.

  4.  

    We would need to setup your wheels and so on. The main purpose for a correct BB length is to have the chainline as straight as possible.
    So we need to know how far off the frame the chainring will need to set to line up correctly with the cog as well as stay clear of the chainstays.

    Dillon's should probably work though.

    675 white i believe its like another 125 to paint them any other color or something... i dont know i havent looked into aerospokes. but also look at the phone number. its a SF area code. everything about that bike screams stolen

  14.  

    copy the ad and post it on the SF craigslist

  15.  

    Someone already put this up as a possibly stolen on BFSSFG. It is totally possible its just someone with an SF # living up here, but the price is suspicious. Someone go check it out. If it sounds legit, buy it, if not, call the cops.

    I'm actually doing a special on web services and everything I do in hopes of raising the cash to buy this off him. I just want to make sure this DeSalvo ends up somewhere it is treated well. And where better than my apartment.

    So, if you guys know anybody who needs a website, video prod, advertising consulting, feats of strength, philosophy education, self-stimulation instruction, or anything else in the realm of human understanding....then let me know.
