Nishiki Custom Sport bottom bracket
Hey everyone, I'm new here. I just bought an old Nishiki Custom Sport frame to start a fixed gear build and noticed that after I took off the crank and chainring, the bottom bracket didn't look like every other one I've seen.
Does anyone have any experience with these and how to remove the bottom bracket? Also, does anyone know the exact size the bottom bracket is so I can order a new one?
Thank you.

Any chance you could post a pic?
It's not a lockring and pin spanner type is it? https://www.sheldonbrown.com/tooltips.../bbtools5.html

That's not much to go on. Either pictures or a better description of what you are seeing are needed

1) Your crank selection
2) Your chainline selection (this is made easier if you have 'standard' 42mm chainline in the rear).

Thanks for all the help guys. . .just a quick update. It was a lock ring type but it was so corroded that I just took it to a shop and they swapped it out for a new Shimano one.
Once again, thanks for all the help!
