Sugino 75 bottom bracket?
So I picked up a pair of Sugino 75 cranks for $2 dollars yesterday. I don't have the bottom bracket needed for them. I plan to use them on my fixed gear. They are meant for road use I believe. My bike is french so I need the old fashioned bottom bracket. What sizes fit excluding the expensive sugino 75 bottom bracket.

$2? really?

French threads? Velo Orange threadleas bottom bracket if you can get one with the right length spindle with ISO taper
There is no cheap option. |

But could I also use a 108 iso size to get the outer chain ring to line up at 42 mm?
|
108 would make it just 1mm narrower...it'll be fine.
I use 75's with a 110.5 phil wood...1.5mm wider. |
Also wouldn't a 103 JIS taper work? IS a cartridge bottom bracket really better? I can get just the axle I need for fairly cheap.

If the existing cups are still usable, all you need is a spindle of the appropriate length for your crank.
If they're not usable, then you'll need to consider a cartridge of some sort. As noted, Velo-Orange offers a threadless cartridge, but recently they added a French thread version of the same thing: https://store.velo-orange.com/index....y-cups-26.html And Phil still offers French thread mounting rings for their bottom brackets. |
Where would he get a new spindle alone? Most used ones arent worth looking at because theyre worn out

There are likely other sources as well. |
