The spindle size will be determined by the crankset you use. If you have a double Exage BioPace, I think it's 68x115mm. I think.
That's if we're talking about the late 80s models and you're fitting a cartridge. I don't know when they went from cup/cone to cartridge but thinking about 85-86 (?)
Campagnolo for show, SunTour for go

I have a 1991 model Repco Superlite and original equipment was still cup and cone - I changed to cartridge bottom bracket in 2007 as the pitting got too bad to continue to use the old cup and cone (at the time I estimated the old girl had done approx 150,000 kms and had the bottom bracket repacked and cleaned every 6 months). I am still using the double exage Biopace crankset and if I get a chance I'll check tonight after riding the old girl home the lengths of the bottom bracket.10speedsemiracer wrote:68mm shell.JCAD wrote:Hi All,

Not fast, no style, but still get there.
