Okay. So the bike was outfitted with a 125mm Phil Bottom Bracket. After some adjustment / centering, the crank arms JUST made it past the seat stays, by less than a millimeter. Frame flex, especially in turns would cause the arms to hit the stays. That's a no-bueno. So, 130mm bottom bracket order

Gentlemen, Once again - thanks for all the laughs :) The bicycle is still missing parts ... a seat post, cassette, and tubes - pretty integral to making it work. The Bottom Bracket still needs a little adjustment so the left-side crank-arm can make it around without hitting the chain stay. No s
