ive just ordered and received a new campy bb for my peugeot, to replace the lower quality and ill fitting shimano; for some reason, you have to mate same-company parts, or things dont quite seat well. (even my flatmate nick had to source shimano trigger-style shifters because his raleigh uses shimano derailleurs.)

when i pulled this bad boy out of the package yesterday, i was shocked at the quality of its build: machined billet aluminum and steel, with tollerances mandela would be proud of. i told the guys "hey whao, this is really nice!" and all the mechanics came over and went "hey, can i...?" so they each turn it over, felt its weight, passed it arround. they all knew what was up.

since they were having trouble getting the shimano bb out, i asked if i could take it home for the night and show it off. thus this blog. sad how something so sexy will never really be seen by anyone, and, i guess, only i will know its there...
