Site Builder One of the questionable points are the downtube shifters on the two bikes you posted; the PH8 came with stem shifters.
Is there something wrong with the current BB? Unless it has been run dry and dirty for a time, it should be good after a rebuild..If it's loose, it may just need to be tightened up..
Thanks for all replies , I definitely think Its a PH8 , Im getting this from the serial number
PH8CE 60 ,I assume that part of the number is the model of the frame unless I'm mistaken . My bike does have downtube shifters though and not stem .
The BB just has a lot of play , If I shake the bike the cranks rattle and the pedals feel odd under the foot , could be a case of cleaning and regreaseing ,tightening but if I could figure out how to get a cartridge BB in there It would be great
