It will fit his frame but may not fit his crank.
Didn't you like the answer I gave in your earlier posting or didn't you ask the correct question?

Naw ... title doesn't say enough. I agree with the other posters - moreover your original post was so ambiguous I'm not sure what you're selling:
"Will the Dura Ace 7701 crankset fit 110x68mm Eng. thread BB?
I'm trying to sell a bottom bracket and someone asked if i knew if my crank would fit their bottom bracket. They said 110x68mm Eng. thread. The BB my crank came with was the bb-6500 (109.5x68)"
So what are you selling? A BB? A crankset and BB? You've mentioned both and not been too specific about details.
The other question I'm asking myself is what is this guy doing with 10 year old DuraAce if he has to post questions like this?

C'mon folks, unless I'm missing something we're talking about .5 mm or .02 inches. How could that possibly have any significant impact?

It will fit, but isn't the real question about whether it will work to give the desired chainline? Half a mm shouldn't be an issue in this case.

Both are the same (ISO *or* JIS) taper, not one of each? No worries...

Yes, you are missing something. The 109.5 bb he is referring to is an Octalink and, while it will certainly fit any 68 mm English threaded frame, will it work with the other crank?
