Stronglight 93 and Phil Wood BB



My 1971 Gitane Tour de France is due for a truly major overhaul, including refinishing the frame.

While I have NOS Campy cranks (both NR & SR), I’m quite fond of the original Stronglight 93 crankset. I just love the look. (Anybody have source of NOS chainrings for the SC 93?)

I’d like to put a Phil BB into the bike. It’s a 68mm, French threaded, but I’m not sure what model (spindle length), nor if a standard Phil BB spindle will take/fit the Stronglight crank. I’d appreciate any advice.

And, if only to hedge my bets, would the same Phil BB purchased for the Stronglight accept the vintage (mid 70s for NR, 81-82 for SR) Campy cranks, if it turned out I went that way?

I appreciate the advice.

Thank you.
