Will this bottom bracket work with my bike?
I need to replace the crankset and BB on my early-'90s Raleigh technium Olympian road bike.
From a previous thread ( https://www.bikeforums.net/bicycle-mechanics/448712-need-new-crankset-older-road-bike-but-don-t-know-specifically-what-i-need.html ) and discussion with Harris Cyclery Tech Support, it appears that it takes an English 68mm bottom bracket.
I've located a set of used Dura Ace square-taper cranks and BB that came off a Trek 5500 OCLV.
Can anyone tell me if these will work on my frame?
Thanks.
Steve

Yes. I'm pretty sure the trek will have a 68mm bb so it will be the same size.
