A catasrophic failure of my titanium bike brought up an old problem again. My old racer, a Tange Mangalloy frame from 1983, now used as primary training machine has a bottom bracket in desperate need of repair/exchange. It is marked Sugino 35 x P1 on the non-drive side and Shimano 35 x P1 on the drive side. Originally it was a Sugino bottom bracket but it had some work done on it some years ago. Obviously the drive side parts could be replaced by a Shimano part, but on the other side the threading is reversed. Is there any shop still selling complete such bottom brackets or parts for them? A used one in good condition is also of interest.

    You've probably got a standard BSA threaded bottom bracket - drive side is lefthand thread and non-drive is righthand thread. Take the old axle into your LBS and they should be able to furninsh you with a standard cartridge unit with sealed bearings of the right length
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
