Hello all,

Here goes another question regarding my RRA build: I assume (please correct me if I'm wrong, which I quite possibly am) that the RRA uses 26 TPI threading on both bottom bracket and headset. The frame that I have needs parts of both. Headset is less of a problem - all parts are there as far as I can see, and though some look like they better be replaced, I think they are still salvageable. Bottom bracket is worse as it is simply not there, the only part that was on the frame was the drive side (left-threaded) cup. So, the question: currently, I do not see any "vintage" Raleigh bottom brackets listed on eBay - but there are quite a few ads for Raleigh "Chopper" parts, including BB cups that look very much like the correct RRA ones. Do these "Chopper" parts use 26 TPI threading? Thanks...
