I'm trying to mate some cranksets to italian bottom brackets in the hopes of actually getting to ride an italian roadbike that I recently picked up for a song.

- removed some stuff that I no longer need --

I have an older Campy Avanti 170mm crankset w/ chainrings I'd trade for an equivalent 175.

cheap/users are the name of the game; I am not sure this is a frame I'll be keeping long term yet--i just want to ride it first. I'm based in Cardiff, but travel to London and Bristol semi-regularly.

let me know what you got!

Have an un-used Italian Shimano external BB (Ultegra I think) which I'm never going to use if you go down that path

Ah! sorry, didn't see anybody replying here; I think I got it sourced for now, but thanks!

(though I'd still trade the 170mm avanti for a 175 equivalent)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
