does anybody know the bb size for the base frames I tried to get the info from the site and it doesn't list those specs. I want to get a bb and crankset for the frame but don't want to buy the wrong size. Thanks.

what BBs are you looking at? External BBs will fit a 68 or 73mm BB with the use of spacers

Something on a budget and cheap.

HERE is a Shimano Crankset and BB for $89 ... good deal imo

Does anybody know the spindle length I assume it is 113mm or the length does matter

if you use a cartridge BB you will need to know the spindle length but if you use an external bb it is not an issue. I built up a K2 Apache 6.0 with an XT external BB and it was just a matter of using the right spacer set up.

I replaced the BB/crankset on my Zed 3.2 with this set, so far so good
