  • Why do bike shops that sell new frames almost never know what facing and reaming of the headtube and BB is?

  • It should really be a step in manufacturing so in theory, shops very rarely have to deal with it

  • On the 2 frames i bought new, a Ribble and a Soma (both steel) it desperately needed to be done.
    I'm thinking about getting a Surly frame now but actually read on there website that only removing excess paint should be enough

  • Is it the same process for CF frames? Or is it done in the mould(s)?
