I bet if you found the cranks on Velobase it would give you some options for BB lengths that came equipped with those arms. Looking at that, knowing what you'd have I'd find the next longest recommended length or more, depending on how off you think you are. I enjoy the educated guesswork =)
Stellar idea, I wish I had a set of calipers. The crank has a 93 on its underside and I wonder if that's more than likely the year. If so the crank was produced in the same year as this bike, so I can possible get away with just finding the original bottom bracket with spindle and see how it matches up to my take off in size and then just search for that spindle. All great advice! Thanks once again!
