BB length is reliant on the cranks, so you should go for the size recommended by FSA (110.5mm). The only dimension that the frame dictates is the shell width, in this case English standard 68mm.
Get a 110.5mm English threaded 68mm BB.

BB length all depends on what the cranks state.
Shimano, FSA. It's easier to say which ones not to buy, but as I've never had any problems BB wise I'll leave that to others. Even cheapy cheap Shimano BB's have lasted me 2yrs

Cool, thanks, 68/110.5 un54 it is then. Cheers.
Ok, so i am collecting bits for my new summer build.
The frame is a Wabi Classic, they state i should use a 68/103 bottom bracket.
I am using FSA Gimandi cranks, chain reaction tell me with those cranks i should use 110.5mm bottom bracket....so which should i go for? I would quite like to order the bottom bracket and cranks at the same time.
Also any advice on which BB to go for in terms of make model would be good, im trying to build this bike with a close eye on weight to be honest.
Cheers
