I think I get it now. Going to continue this build to replace my ATB as my commuter, although I think the chain rubs the fd when I'm out of the saddle and its fine when I'm not so the wet noodle frame stories might be true with this one idk, I think the crank is a bit crooked as is. Maybe its square taper flex. I have an extra hollow spindle chainset I was thinking of throwing on to lose a lb
