Hey guys,
I just purchased a used Holdsworth Mystique frame. I was examining the BB and I noticed there is a crack on the drive side.
It appears to be a threaded aluminium shell bonded into the frame.
I'm not sure if it is just the paint or filler around the shell that has cracked, or if there is an issue with the whole shell/BB.
The shell protrudes out maybe a mm or 2, and the area around the crack feels a little bumpy/lumpy; on the non-drive side the area is smooth and uniform.
Any advice?
