Nishiki Comp bottom bracket size?
Hello! I LOVE my Nishiki Competition (US made, pre 85) and it's time to replace the bottom bracket. What size/style/brand do ya'll suggest? Thanks in advance, hopefully this works!

It will take a standard English-thread BB. You could use a standard Shimano cartridge unit if "correctness" isn't an issue. Without knowing what crankset is on the bike, it's tough to be more specific.

If I had to guess, I would say 118mm to 120mm length if it's a double, 122 to 125mm for a triple.
