I managed to get the bb out after being reminded that Italian bb threads are the other way around 🤦♂️
In my defence this is the first Italian threaded frame I’ve attempted to use...
The rear wheel conundrum continues, flipped the wheel and it sits in the same line so assume that means the wheel is straight, Sheldon shows a home method for checking frame alignment and the ds chain stay is maybe 2mm over to the drive side but the accuracy of my measuring could account for that. 🤷♂️ There is a noticeable score wheel bite on the inside of the ds stay but not a mark on the NDS which means it’s been ridden like this for a while, the spacing at the rear is bang on 130mm so I’ll give it to a shop to check properly but I’m not hugely concerned... worst comes to worst I’ll have built a pretty turbo bike...
