Phil Wood BB Sizing

Hello all,

Recently while I've been riding there has been the issue of the cranks being at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock and when I go to pedal, they snap down horizontally with a very unpleasant sound. Visited a few LBS and they all told me that I need to replace my BB. Now that I'm financially stable enough I was going to purchase a Phil Wood. I wasn't very sure about EXACTLY what size, length and taper I needed for my frame. A buddy of mine gave me a banged up BD Dawes SST frame and I built it up from there. I decided to email their service department and ask exactly what I would need. They responded verbatim "68mm". To me that doesn't sound TOO detailed, so if anybody is familiar and could help me out, that would be greatly appreciated.
