New Bottom Bracket????

Deb, thanks for chiming in. Yes, he did finally take it apart and then tighten it which did not help. He explained the Italian thing to me (which went over my head) but you clearly described it, thank you. He said it was a tragic flaw in its design. So far I'm not hearing anything but it will be replaced within the week.

well the bottom bracket started to fail today (slipped gears, loud noises).
So after our very hilly ride we stopped at the LBS where the new bottom bracket had arrived. he pulled the old one out and we compared them.
I had NO IDEA that the campy Record was THAT much lighter than the veloce. I thought we were talking grams. NO we're talking close to 1/2 pound!! After he pulled the old one out he said he could probably rebuild it. So That's what he's going to do, but my bike is now in running order.
