I just built up the BlackBeast for my friend, Danny. As an experiment, I tried out a Tommisea cartridge bottom bracket, and it worked like a charm. With my Vuelta triple crank, the cartridge worked right out of the box. For the old Sugino I actually used on Danny's build, I had to put a freehub spacer behind the drive side, so that the drive side crank would clear the chainstay.
Looks like this would work with an e-type Shimano derailleur, and that would allow for front shifting without the need to make a derailleur adapter.
