Which type of bottom bracket is this likely to be?

Anyone know what type of bottom bracket this is? It's on a ~ 2004 Saracen Ventoux road bike but was apprently bought on the continent (brakes 'wrong' way round) and spec may have been altered before I got given it for free.



It's my station bike so ideally I want to get all the bits before I work on it so I can get home.

    Looks like a standard Shimano square-taper model to me. I know you take the crank bolts out with an 8mm Allen key and the cranks off with a crank extractor tool, but I don't know the exact name of the tool(s) you need to get the bearing units in & out.

    Do you have that picture with you on a smartphone / digicam? If so, any shop should be able to sort you out with the right tools.

    Just in case you've not worked on bottom brackets before, the right-side bearing unit unscrews from the frame the wrong way (clockwise). Apologies if you already know this stuff.
