    deadly fanny pack
    yup got BB's, well dont actually have them. A bike shop/community bike recycling kinda place has a boxfulls of odd old stock. He has actually sold a few through people coming into the shop, which I find unbelievable because its in the middle of knowhere and does not look like a shop at all.

    Well anyways, anecdotes aside. They sell them for £10 in the shop which is less than a standard Shimano UN type! They are SKF (swedish), Square taper (imagine it will be i.s.o) 119mm spindle. so would expect them to be worth a fair bit more than that, especially because of the rare french thread. They have plastic cups on both sides, there is an official installation tool but I reckon you could improvise one pretty easily as I cant imagine plastic cups are designed to be screwed on very tight anyway.

    Its a bit of a distance and effort for me to get there. So basically £10 plus something to cover the postage and a donation for my efforts is what im asking.

    I could easily go buy the lot, and flog em on ebay at a substantial profit, But id much rather help a few people out on the forum.

    Let me know if your interested and well sort out some kind exchange of cash, although I might be in London N1 on saturday, it will probably have to be by electronic means of some description.
