Crank arms

Noticed my crank arms comes prettty close to my chain stay. Sometimes I drop the frame and I’ve had a few falls. Is this anything to worry about? Thanks.

Not likely, no.

That's quite the patina you're working there.

Looks like a square taper bottom bracket. You should be able to find an alternate bottom bracket with a longer spindle that would increase the space between your crank arms and your chain stays.

Thanks. It’s a Cinelli Mash Work. It’s pretty cool. I have no complaints about this frame. Very well made.

Yeah it’s a Campagnolo crank/bb combo. I’ll definitely consider that in the future. Thank you.
