look at the spindle, it is not centered in the cup bore. The cup is tight but the face is off, not perpendicular to the shaft center.
I have seen this, had a bike like this, a Phil Wood fixed the problem, this was before the Edco eccentric lock unit.
Correct. Obviously the cartridge solution wasn't happening, so I went with a cup and cone. Even that is showing askew.
Will bite the bullet and see if an LBS will re-chase the threads and face parallel. The bearings are either grabby with no play, or smooth flowing with lots of play in the spindle.
Thus the reason the frame was $35 plus shipping.
