your bike looks like an 87 or 88 and may very well be a 68mm adding slight complications... why do you want to get rid of the current set-up?
I am going the SS route and would prefer if someone who is restoring a bike have good parts for that. Also I often break square tapper BB's. In a perfect world I could do a straight trade..... The bike is going to be a school commute and bad weather cruiser so I really don't want to ruin good parts
