Even better yet if this BB happens to have a Ti spindle, as those go for a lot of money. A 118mm spindle length is also most popular as that 8s the spindle length to use with most C&V Stronglight double crankset.
Only minor issue I had with these BBs are the 8 notched lockrings. Not that easy to find an 8 notched spanner for these as most out there are for 6 notched lockrings. Claw wrenches would usually work, but you always run the risk of it slipping and jumping off, ruining the notches in the process...
