Sugino GT chainset

I have acquired a Sugino GT chainset, double, 110BCD with 50/36 chainrings, in great condition. Just trying to work out what BB length to use with it?
It seems that there was also a GS version of these cranks - 130BCD presumably designed for road use, e.g. 42/52, and then the GT version for touring, in double or triple.
This page shows a 123mm traditional BB for the GS version, but not sure if that would also be the case for the GTs?

Hi Did you ever get sorted out with your BB length I have just picked a Gt double chainset in great condition, and am trying to find out the BB Length ?????
 
i guess the square tapers are the same as shimano ? id be interested. It might have to be an experiment jobby
i would have thought those lengths quoted are for triples and you may be able to get away with 113mm.
 
In the end I assumed the taper was JIS and went with a Shimano UN55 bb with 122.5mm axle length, 68mm shell. It does seem to be the right length to give a 44mm chainline on my bike, measured from middle of DT to part way between big and little rings. Hope this is useful!
