Saint or XT or ?

Don't know about ISIS being old school -- you can buy an X-type ISIS BB, and if you ever want to switch cranks an ISIS set would be much easier than, say, the Saint or Diabolous X-types. Go with Holzfeller no question. Which BB is your call (check out the new Truvativ Howitzer BB out for '06, might be worth looking into), but the Holzfellers are wicked stiff, and actually surprisingly light. I held my Holzfeller in one hand, and a Next LP and Stylo (had all three off and was comparing) and although you could tell the Holzfeller was heavier than the other two, it wan't by much, and that is the only one that I would do any serious hucking with. I'd go with those. If you can supply the rings, you can buy a Holzfeller Trials crankset for really cheap and just pull that bash.
