I have a question about bottom brackets...I realize this is out of the time-line--the frame involved is correct for the list however..as are the parts I want to use.

I have a lovely Brian Baylis frame that I want to build up with late Cyclone stuff. I have a nice Cyclone crank, and I need a bb for it. The Baylis is spaced at 130mm, no indentation in the stays...so I need a fairly long bb spindle for the rings to clear the stays.

My question is two-fold: how long should the spindle be? And which bb brands with have the correct taper for the Cyclone crank?

I'd get a Phil, but I'm cheap, and I'd like to get something used that would work. If you have something that would work, e-mail me privately. Answers to my question(s) can also be sent off-list.

Thanks much!
