If the cups are OK, great. I understand that idea. If the cups are not OK, then it isn't as simple as the $10 Shimano cartridge bb I put on my 1993 Peugeot.

I have a 1975 UO8 frame hanging in the shop, waiting for a spindle (I haven't been looking very hard, as it is way back on the project list).
