They nearly always do. Are those crank arms ISIS-compatible?

They are square taper cranks...just a get a cheap square taper shimano bb in the right size for your frame (and right spindle length for your cranks) and it will cost you almost nothing, I have found some for $12. It wont last forever, but it will get the job done for quite a while (few thousand miles)

i get that is cheaper initially, but to upgrade from ss flat bar to drop bar and full gears is gonna be like another £300 at least second hand... wait an extra month and he could afford to go to drops and gears straight away.

don't mean to be a dick, hes obviously got a plan, but it just seems illogical

well i herd it all from him Razz i know his plans

he's only ridden mtb's and he's not a very confident rider, he's worried about riding a roadbike, so building it this way so it will feal more like a mountain bike for him, making it comfier and build his confidence and the SS builds up his fitness(when he ups the ratio) to wich is a bonus, also gears n all that jazz would cost quite a bit more

tis all for a reason Smile

I see your logic, but I'm on benefits as I'm ill, so I won't be able to afford a groupset that quick, It would take atleast 3 months to get a groupset and drop bars!

And also what nowhere fast said I am building a flat bar hybrid style bike to start with as I have been used to riding MTB's but as soon as I am used to the bike maybe by Christmas this year I will get a groupset and drops.
