Ahoy !

I have need of determing the proper bottom bracket spindle length and off-set.

I wish to install an ISO taper bb spindle (Read: Not Stronglight taper) within a 1974 Raleigh Super Course Mk. II.

Would the same spindle specification be common to all the Raleigh Reynolds 531 frames? Thas is: Super Course Mk. II, International, Gran Sport, Competition and possibly Pro. (Yes, I am aware that the infamous Campag vs. CPSC (abbrv?) issue may be relevant here.) I am hoping the number stamped into an International spndle will serve me to shop for what is needed.

Why am I asking? For reason that I have completely forgotton how to measure a spindle. Well, it's been a long, long time. For measuring, I do need to see the illustration as to where one actually reads the dimension.

Thank you.

Regards,
