Morning,
I've gotten hold of a cinelli zydeco frameset online as i want to have a try building a cyclocross bike. I was naively expecting it to have a guide to say what bottom bracket is needed. how would i find out what size is needed?
thanks in advance

measure it. 68 or 70mm wide? (most likely to be 68mm and English/ISO)

Hi,
its 68mm wide, I'm just confused with all the 113mm bits etc when i've looked bottom brackets up on chain reactions.0 -
that is axle length. and is crank specific."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

ok thank you, thats starting to make more sense. I was planning on using the cranks off my allez, guess i need to pull that bottom bracket out and take a look.
thanks so much for your help!0
