Just buy a complete BB. You'll probably want a "pre-'77" type. The spindle you need will be marked 70-SS-120 for use with a Strada (road) crankset. You
do want the Italian cups with it, marked 36x24. A spindle marked 68-SS-120 is for non-Italian (British, French); you want the one with the "70", as Italian BB shells are a tad wider, so ignore those with a 68 marking.
