Sorted 109.5 x 68mm shell splined bottom bracket

Looking for the above please. Similar to the pic but 109.5m axle length.

Look out for Shimano 105, ultegra or Dura ace, 68x109.5 is a road size.

Thanks mate. I’ve had a quick search and they are available but seem a bit harder to find in that particular size. New they are circa £50 and I was hoping to save a few quid on a used one. Will have a proper look on eBay etc this eve. Just dropped money on this so looking to save where I can without buying rubbish components.

What cranks are you looking to run? Are they v1 or V2 spline?

Lovely frame btw, I've been semi searching for one in that colour our preferably the blue, turquoise to white one.

Actually not sure whether it’s v1 or v2. I’ve ordered a bb online this eve so hope it’s the right thing. The cranks are 2000 yr coda expert so maybe v1.

I seem to recall that there were some coda cranks that used the v1 spline. I thought these used the xtr BB which are 112.5 or 116, same as the xtr cranks.

I saw this earlier and followed the spec. Seems to be the right crankset. I’ve today fitted a 118mm and the chainline is well off so a 109mm should be more like it. Whether it’s v1 or v2 I am not sure. Knowing my luck I’ve ordered the wrong thing

My coda tarantula (on a 1999 F3000) use a V1 octalink

I’ve ordered a Shimano 105 series BB 5500 in 109mm width. The shop didn’t specify v1 or v2 but having a quick google search that part looks like a V1. Fingers crossed it’s the right part.

Yep, v1 spline needed: https://m.pinkbike.com/buysell/1371432/

The 105 should be V1. V1 has a much shorter spline than the V2 which you handily added a pic of in your first post.
