I need a bit of help in choosing a new bottom bracket for a Sugino GT double chainset. It's a non-low profile offering (which seemed to be very popular with Raleigh here in the UK, as it popped up on a lot of their training/'sports' machines in the late 80s), and definitely needs a longer BB axle than the Campag Mirage double on my road bike (with a 110mm BB). The BB of choice is likely to be the trusty Stronglight JP400, which comes in quite a few lengths. At a rough guess, the 119 or 122mm versions look to be most suitable, but if anyone can narrow things down further, this would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance, David E. Belcher
118mm, just measured my old one. BTW I have enough good enough parts to make a serviceable unit if you want it.
Thanks to all concerned for feedback. However, getting suitable rings to give the chainset a 38/48 set-up for cross may be more expensive than I thought, so it looks like I'll have to take a different course of action and see what else my bits box can come up with....

I have some Biopace 38 and 48 rings with 110 PCD, used and I'm not sure if they are good enough or not. I have never used them, they were in the box of bits I was given when I bought the Pink Peril. Yours for twice the price of postage. The offer on the BB still exists too.
