Guys,
I'm building up a nice old Peugeot, and was looking at a Campy Super Record bottom bracket. A few questions:
. Are these worth the $140-$250 they sell for on ebay?
. What is a good, less expensive alternative people love (I know it's subjective)?
. Why do some of them have protruding threads from the spindle? What cranks fit that?
Thanks!
Pricing: Depends on how bad you want or need them. There are alternatives. French thread is not as common.
Alternatives: Certainly. Stronglight is a likely choice. Just remember you are looking for French thread and make sure you get the correct spindle length.
Protruding threads: Assuming you were looking at a Campag BB, then that would be the Ti Super Record BB. Fits Campag Record crankarms.
I saw two French thread Campag BB sets for under $100.
