Determining BB spindle length on my Bottecchia
I just got my hands on a Columbus SLX tubed late 80's/early 90's Bottecchia road frame. I plan to build it up with a 7 speed freewheel (126mm rear spacing), though I will be using some early 90's Chorus drivetrain bits that I have around (cranks, front and rear derailleurs). What is the best way to determine the proper Bottom Bracket spindle length for the bike? Couldn't figure it out using Sheldon's database.

Posting just to see the replys. I have a long term plan to do something similar with a late 80's - early 90's Bottecchia SLX/TSX frame when one turns up. I'm especially found of the red/white color schema with the chrome rear triangle.
