The bottom bracket on my '98 is a cartridge type, so when the bearing got a little sloppy the only way to fix it was to replace the whole thing. It wasn't very expensive, and I was afraid of the old one giving out when I was 100 miles from home. The new BB I bought still has the square tapered ends, and the new cranks do too, so the options were limited but I found a set of arms with a chainring group that was pretty close to what I used to have. The 520 is a triple chainring which is a lot handier with a heavy load than my old Schwinn which only had two. I saw you said that you don't like drop bars, I find that when I'm riding all day I like having flexibility about where to put my hands and how far to lean over, it seems to help me not feel as worn out. This bike had bar end shifters when I got it, as did my last one, but I am not sure if they were factory or if the original owner put them on.
