I've just ordered a Zion 853 EBB frame, decided that the custom frame at three times the price wasnt worth it ... only advantages were Fit, No v-brake boses and no deraileur hanger.
Anyways,
Can the Zion's EBB shell take any style of cranks and bb? I'd like to go to a non-shimano external bearing design (possibly truvativ or race face I think). I'm not building the frame up for a while, so I can wait for more external bearing options to come out if there arent many now.
Also, can someone confirm that the head tube is prefaced and just needs the headset pressed into the frame?
Thanks,
-Chris
PS Planned build is
Chris King disc hubs with DT competition spokes on mavic 717 rims
tompson seat post
selle italia slr steel seat (the 160g one)
Chris King headset
2001 Z1 Bomber forks
Easton alloy bars and stem
Cranks ?
BB ?
Chain ?
Brakes - deore 525
A mixture of old and new parts.
