he bike would be porn material if restored properly...so I don't want him to use this ugly ass bb: https://www.bike-components.de/de/Campagnolo/Centaur-Innenlager-Vierkant-p10016/
Use the modern cartridge BB which is easy to fit and works well, because only a twat would comment on it outside of a museum. In a museum setting, Super Record should probably have the Ti axle and steel lined aluminium cups, but they won't have suddenly got better for being 30 years old and a NOS one would set you back more than the whole bike is worth.
The FAG-built AC-S has better visuals if you want to let aesthetics rule over function, and still works fine.

Thanks. The bb doesn't have to be period correct but the Centaur looks really off in my eyes. Even if you don't see it.
Just have to find a German shop which lists the AC-S.One more question: did Basso mix Shimano and Campagnolo? Mentioned friend sent me some shots of the bike and it has full 105 except for the crankset.

A friend of mine is showing a bit of interest in bikes recently and wants to make his dad's bike fresh again.
As the bb is really old and loose, I recommended him to buy a new one but don't know which.
It seems to be the non-fluted Super Record on a Basso frame, so ITA JIS 112mm should do the job. But which bb to use? I'm pretty sure the bike would be porn material if restored properly (the last time I saw it was in high school about 6 years ago though) so I don't want him to use this ugly ass bb: https://www.bike-components.de/de/Campagnolo/Centaur-Innenlager-Vierkant-p10016/
