Funnily enough, I got back on to this at the weekend.
I was going to go down the route of getting a Phil Wood bottom bracket, but when I went to Condor to see about getting one, they told me it would be a few months before they get their next shipment.
They then produced a Campagnolo 114mm, Italian threaded cartridge bottom bracket Brand New, for about £16.00. (I reckon I've done a couple of hundred quid on knackered old Super Record Bottom Brackets from around the world in recent weeks.
Obviously I was delighted, and excitedly got the Gios down from its perch in the shed at the weekend.
The bottom bracket fitted perfectly, so I offered up the crankset. None drive side slipped on no problem - moved on to drive side and......
Chain ring hits the chain stays. Shit, fuck, wank. Too depressed to take a photograph.
I think it might be because the Gios seems to have a 70mm bottom bracket shell - but can't be sure.
Can anyone give me a definitive answer, before I top my self?
