For all of the Cannondale riders, this is not new information because your bikes have been running this system for awhile. The BB30 standard (Cannondale calls it SI - System Integrated) integrates the bottom bracket bearings into the frame via a press fit.

Jill is right, and I am really surprised that we haven't actually seen this sooner. My "real job" involves a lot of steel, aluminum and rubber purchasing domestically and from overseas. Prices are increasing at a rate that most manufacturers can't keep up with the increases.

I Miss My Singlespeed

That's right...I finally said it. I really do miss my singlespeed. Now, to clarify, I don't particularly miss the Curtlo as much as singlespeeding itself. The Curtlo was an incredible bike built by Doug Curtis. It rode beautifully and one of the best rides I have ever been on was a ss ride on this bike at Tsali with Jason. It was just one of those days where everything was on. I think we did somewhere around 33 miles that day if I remember correctly.
