Is it correct that the Raleigh Super Course uses standard English threading for the BB? A page on Sheldon's (RIP) site seems to indicate so:
Throughout the Bike Boom era, the Super Course was the least expensive Raleigh model to feature aluminum rims. It was also the least expensive model to use standard British tread [sic] dimensions, rather than the Raleigh proprietary threading used on bikes built at the Nottingham factory.
but I just wanted to confirm that this applies to the BB threads, and that a typical square taper 68 by 1xx mm bottom bracket will fit.
