Steven Willis wrote inquiring about the steel "CON SFERE DA 3/16" spindles.

Joe Bender-Zanoni responded that they were a one year alternate design.

Just over a decade later, when riders complained about the additional flex regarding the Super Record BB assys. we would take one of these spindles and exchange the ti one for one of steel, retaining the alloy cups, I do not recall the details but there was some creativity required to maintain the correct chainline and BB shell assy width, as the Super Record cups are thicker than the much earlier steel parts.
