CIRCLES ORIGINAL Labor Charge

If you have purchased a frameset, please add any items required for the frame’s pre-treatment.

Depending on our other workload, please allow approximately 10 days, excluding business days.

For outboard bottom brackets, since the bottom bracket unit contacts both sides of the bottom bracket shell, we’ll face both painted surfaces. For square bottom brackets, since many models are designed so that the bottom bracket unit contacts the bottom bracket shell only on the chainring side, we’ll face only that side.

In the unlikely event that both sides are faceted but a square bottom bracket is used, the faceted area on the side opposite the chainring will be exposed with the paint coating peeled off, which could lead to rust developing over time.

If the specifications for the crankset and bottom bracket have not yet been finalized, I believe it would be best not to perform the facing at this stage and instead wait until the actual assembly phase to do so.
