Italian roadster job

I did think about it. However there are few points to consider.

These type of bottom brackets are usually for cotterless cranks, whereas my bike uses cranks with cotterpins. Of course I could change the cranks, but I may have trouble fitting them inside the chainguard.

I presume it takes an Italian thread. If i am not mistaken Italian bottom brackets are smaller than Bsa ones. This could mean that a threadless one may be too big to fit in. I have never tried them though.

At the end of the day it's a financial thing. I just want a work bike, not to restore a bike to its former glory, so the cost of changing a new bottom bracket, plus cranks and a new front wheel (that's seriously on its way out) would be equal to another bike.

Fortunately, i've got a big basement to store it in just in case I come across a way of resurrecting it.

ah ok, does sound like a bit of a job. Well if the guy can straighten out your frame it sounds like it could be a handy bike so long as there are no cracks. I ride a 50s roadster every day to uni and its great.

What make is this bike?
