Old/Large One-Piece Crank/Bottom Brackets
Been working on a 70's model Schwinn Continental. I am curious about getting a new bottom bracket and crankset. The BB shell looks huge. Does anyone make an adapter or new BB's that fit these shells? I did a search though the forums and found this link. Will these fit? Is it possible to get a newer crankset - one that is not a one-piece? Sorry for the slight incoherence. I just don't know what to do with this thing. I'm open to any suggestion.
