Since forever. They've never used a mid.

I guess I just figured since the barcode is the god of all frames, it would have a normal bottom bracket. Mid is all but standard on bmx bikes now. Don't get me wrong, it is totally my fault. I'm just disappointed that I waited several months and paid half a grand for a frame I will probably never ride now.

Or you could just man up and trade your cranks for some decent 22mm ones which will probably be fine. 
I couldn\'t tell if she was wet or the pasta was just beyond al-dente.

Cool. In all fairness though you're making out like the problem is the BB and not the fact that you want to run obscure cranks.

Hugh -Raw. Beautiful. I'm being too precious with it... Still riding the fit. Think I'll put the big bobs on it and man up.
If you need forks... we have forks!

Skateparkrider, it's a bloody nuisance. I have to use a card reader and to be completely honest, I'm not sure I could be bothered finding the cable!

Do you guys have forks with brake mounts? Odyssey preferably.

I'll be over to you guys one of these days for small stuff like a chain and BB.  I gave my last bike away and haven't ridden in nearly 2 years and I'm being stupidly picky with this build.

Hugh, I planned my Barcode from the beginning and was going to be "picky" and only use certain parts.  Then when it arrived, I stripped all the parts from my ATF to see if I liked this version of the Barcode over the two I have owned, 2000 or 2001 and the brown 2006.  Ran into some money and slowly I have assembled my Navy Barcode with mostly new parts.  I still need to locate my real camera and take a few pictures as I believe it is complete for now until the Black Flag bars deliver.  I think the only parts that are not new are the seat, post, sprocket, and hubs, but these are items I would not change.

I had a rough idea of what I wanted to build it up like. 48 spoke wheels and front brakes
