bb cups with 8spd chorus cranks???
Greetings. So while I am waiting for my 83 Tommasini to be repaired (yeah, I went into an underground parking garage with it on top of the car....brutal), I am putting together a bike to ride in the meantime: recently purchased '79 rauler frame, 8spd chorus group, dura ace wheels. I just have a couple questions regarding the bb. Simply my bb is English threaded and rauler is italian. I am considering 3 options.
1) Find the Italian model of the chorus cartridge bb (double chainring).
2) Find an older Italian cup and cone bb with a spindle that will work with the cranks
3) Rip the spindle out of the current cartridge and find the rest of a cup and cone bb.
These are my questions:
1) Can I purchase any double chainring campy cartridge bb from 1994-2006 and have it work with my cranks?
2) Do older (1980s) double chainring campy spindles work with the 8sp chorus cranks?
3) Can I use the spindle in the cartridge and just find the older style bb minus the spindle?
Based on mere preference, I would rather go old school on the bb (pre-cartridge) if I can. Thanks for your help!

the campy cups come in many different sizes, so you have to get the right ones or else it wont fit. I needed to get some replacement cups and got the wrong size.

The spindle from the English bb is 111mm. It seems like my options are phil wood's 110.5 (does the .5 mm make much of a difference??), c-record bb, or the AC-H campy cartridge bb. Haven't decided yet. Any opinions???
