Yo Mike, seems like you're in some sort of similar box to Andrew right now, some worth reading stuff coming out ;-)
As to your "simple" bike, do you also want it diamond plated, because getting a bike to 30lbs, doing all that you require, that's the HUGEST of pipe dreams I've ever heard. What you wants can be had, but it'll cost you lots of weight to gain the robustness.
Thanks posting that pic of the BB, kept forgetting to try and find exactly one for my 20+ year old XTR M950 crankset that's still working sweet, well actually got it off a friend who no longer wanted it, dug into the "unserviceable" BB and got it back to spinning good enough, if a bit crunchy, but would like to get a new BB for it.
Oh and BTW, I enjoy tinkering with bikes about as much as riding them, which I guess is about as weird to many people as when I tell them I enjoy climbing a good tech climb as much as a good tech descent :skep:
