Thanks East Hill.

I still haven't gotton photos. probably tomorrow, I measured the bottom bracket, it was the spindle type when I pulled it, It has a 70mm shell and 127mm overall, it's badges and stickers say "USA bicycle company" I believe, or "an american bicycle company". Would any of you guys have any guesses as to the bb threading here? the components were suntour front and rear derailer, the pedal cranks said raleigh, the tubing is 502 chro-moly. I don't know if it will help, but the serial number was very readable on the bottom, I'll post that with the pictures. Thanks in advanced.
