some vintage bikes had an oversized bottom bracket (similar to a BMX 5/16th) that modern types wont screw into possibly that is what Geoff Wiles meant, if this is the case then you need to get an adaptor sleeve that screws in and allows a modern B/B to fit.....difficult to find but cycle jumbles are a good place to start!
