Wow! That's confusing. The TdF came with Stronglight 93, which has the Stronglight BB & spindle that is 118mm. On my '71 Super Corsa, the Campy NR crank has the Campy BB and spindle that is 114mm. These are for doubles.
The Stronglight BB for a triple had either a 123mm or 125mm spindle, depending on period.
I'll be off to collect my TdF out of storage next week, and will be doing a major overhaul that's looong overdue. I have several bottom brackets in hand, BUT none of them are anywhere near as small as what you've used.
Hmmm. May have to take this to the wrenching thread. . . Any others have experience here?
