Bottom bracket replacement

February 22nd, 2007

So between frames I’m doing a fun little repair which is replacing a bottom bracket shell. The BB was seized in there and the shell was slightly mangled so this was pretty much the only option. In this instance, it’s a fillet brazed frame so it’s not as tragic as it could’ve been. The brass held everything together nicely. After cutting the old one out and grinding out what remained of the shell, the new one slid right in. Check out the pics.
