I have a friend who recently bought a cannondale frame that takes a larger sized bottom bracket (not shimano or campy). It is made by Cdale and apparently is too big for shimano. He loves the frame and wants to build it up. However, he needs a triple crank on his bike. We live in Colorado and he is not a super-serious cyclist.
I have told him he has several options.
1. Sell the frame on ebay and buy a new bike
2. Somehow get a machine shop to make a shimano/campy crank work for him. He apparenltly has contacted a machine shop and they say they may be able to work it out. My question is: Is this a good idea? With the kind of stress he will put on the crank (6 feet 4, 240lbs) will this adaptor snap?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
