Hi,

Hi,
It took me two attempts to get this to work. The first one failed because the
standard sqauare taper bottom braket was too short.
I ordered a wider square taper bottem bracket and then
everything was groovy. The first post has some pictures. If you need more, let me know.
I alluded to this in my comments on your post. In the case of a
square taper bottom bracket, there are two widths of interest. The width of the bottom bracket holder (i.e.,width of the frame holding the bottom bracket) and the width of the square tapers. In my case, there are very many bottom brackets that work with the same width of the frame but have the square pegs that stick out more, and that's exactly what I needed and found.
Most modern, higher end bottom brackets (and here is where I have virtually no experience), there seems to be only one width of interest. That makes what you are trying to do harder. I don't know if there's a high end enough crankset/square taper-like bottom bracket that would be reasonable to install on Vendetta.
When I got stuck, in addition to posting and getting help here, I also found posting at
Bent Riders Online useful. In your case, I can even imagiine DF bike forums might have good ideas.
Good luck!
Charles
