The Tange adjustable bottom bracket Riv sells was too much tempatation for me. Wanted to install it on my Hillborne. Love the look, the feel and I like to experiment so this was right up my alley. Unfortunately the 118 spindle was a little too wide. No way to get a replacement spindle from Riv or other sources I've checked. I will likely put this up for sale and buy another one but with a shorter spindle.
