but realistically, unless it's a show-bike or a dedicated track bike, I'd recommend the Sugino Prototype BB. It's a sealed cartridge bb designed for the 75's, and it's like $35. Sealed cartridge = less maintenance; less maintenance = longer crank life, because you aren't removing/installing the cranks every six months to clean and repack the bearings, so you aren't blowing out the taper on the cranks.
The BB you're talking about is called the Protype, not Prototype. My shop stopped selling them in favor of the Tange 109mm ISO BB because I found the spindle lengths and tapers to be inconsistent.
