Yes.........the pedals removed quite easily and I pulled the drive side crank to confirm it's a Phil BB..............I see what you mean with the freeboard.

I am probably going to rebuild the headset and hubs, clean everything and then do a mock build up with everything I have. Then pull the BB when I'm ready to paint.

In the meantime I will try and collect a few parts. Currently bidding on these to replace the DA set I now have.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/360807477204...84.m1431.l2648

Will a French threaded Zeus crankset work with the Phil BB or do I need a Zeus BB??
