95 breezer resto

[Steelsreal]

Hi folks,

Does anyone know the bottom bracket spindle length for a '95 breezer lightning?
Also is it English or Italian thread's?

Determined to get this bike finished and move onto the next project.

Ta very much

Kev

Surely that depends on the cranks you’re using?
Pretty sure all Breezers are English thread - why not just screw a spare cup in and check?

Well, I'm either using an xt m-737 or a sugino mighty 900. It would've had the sugino originally. Forgive me, I just thought I'd ask before I go ahead and buy a bb for it

BB shell width is determined by the frame, 68 or 73mm. Axle length by cranks. There is a table of info on the Sheldon brown site which is a great resource.

Great, thanks,
I know it's a 68mm as I checked that. As for the rest, Sheldon brown...yes, of course!
