But try and fix the crank first, that's a nice one.
I agree. Unless you put the exact model of crank back on the bike it is a good bet the spindle lenght will be different. Not all square tapers are the same and they range from 102 symetrical to 123+ asymetrical.
The shimano cartridge BBs are nice but just make sure it is correct for your chosen crankset.
Look at this! Even has the Sugino SingleKey releases still in it.
