That's interesting.
@c0gsucker did you have your BB shell faced? I'm curious how there's so much difference in our setups. It seems more than would be caused by tolerances in frame construction alone (although I am ready to be proven wrong).

no I just fitted it straight out of the box, both the frame (v3) and the crankset were brand new.
I would take some better pics for you but the cranks are no longer fitted on there, my pomp is in pieces in the garage.
EDIT: actually now that I think about it there may be a chance that it was faced, I dropped it off at my LBS for them to install the headset when I first picked up the frame and I have a very hazy memory of them saying they faced the bb for free.

...facing 1mm off the NDS of the BB shell. Strictly speaking, you don't have to do anything else with GXP, although you can put a 1mm spacer under the DS cup to compensate if you want to.
