Chorus spindle length?

I have gotten myself a chorus crankset for 8 sp. ergo shifting.
The question is, as indicated, what's the BB's spindle length for this set? Is it 111 mm as the previous generation?

Looks like I've got a late one, and should have a 102mm BB and not the 111mm I currently got.

Yes, looks like you need a 102. Origin 8 has a lower cost replacement unit, I tried one on my Landshark, so far, so good.
