Big John, I feel like an idiot. So I took a quick look at the cervelo today, and it was one of the cables causing the problem. It was rubbing again the frame in a way that felt like the head set was stuck, and it was also behind the noise I was hearing when I turned the bars.
Play is still there.

But, guys.....
I mean, the 7410 crank is The Most Beautiful Crankset Ever, so how can I not?

A Lynskey, size large frame set just popped up in my area for 1,000.00. With the litespeed just about done, it’s time for another project.

That's not how my Muse works. I already have the Litespeed, so another Ti bike would be redundant. It's why I find myself pondering selling the Lotus Classique - it's the SECOND 1982 Lotus with Shimano kit in my collection.
