Not trying to be funny here, but if the requested specs are all over the 
place, it might be nice to know either a hint about the differences or a 
hint about the advantages to whatever the differences are.

I for one would be willing to take a couple of trade-offs if it means 
ultimate reliability.

Along those lines, I'm sure one spec difference is the long tail vs. the 
short tail. Seeing that: 1. you can't get flywheels for long-tails and 2. 
the FACTORY dumped long tail cranks back in the day - it would be 
reasonable to say "short tail cranks only" (or long-tail only, whatever). 
That might reign things in a bit.

I know that folks run different rod bearings too, but if we all agreed on 
that particular mod, would that get us closer to a consensus.

Or maybe I'm missing something.
