Wonderful!

I remain quite mystified as to why a Stronglight 93 came with a 118mm Stronglight spindle, but fits easily onto a standard (pre-'77) Campy 114mm BB, and exactly which Phil Wood BB can be used?

Same with the mystery of the Avocet/Ofmega crankset that Sheldon says cannot be used with anything other than a special proprietary BB, but I ran for years on either a standard (again older) Campy BB or even longer on an OMAS (also standard ISO taper) BB?

Please, do write it.

Many thanks, in advance.
