If you don't come right Flowta just holler this way as well. Have some laying around.

 

If you get this before tomorrow, would you mind bringing 2 to work with you? I can come past and pick them up.

hmm, gonna check this evening when I get home. Those numbers should be engraved somewhere on it isnt it?

 

It might be, the numbers designate the width of the bolt, the "M" means that it's a standard metric thread.

did the same swap a while back with my Bowery, LBS found some, makes a big difference to the appearance of the crank.

I will name my first born child after you if you can get me a pair.

 

So, will the first name or middle name be Flowta ;-)

 

He says he still has a few, he's going to send me some pics of what he has tonight

most bike shops should keep a jar of them.

 

Unfortunately they dont. CWC only had 2 in their workshop spares box no more. Went 2 3 other bike shop and they had nothing.

 

Got told

 

"go speak to the guys that deal in classic bikes."

 

"You can't get them anymore"

 

Started explaining to one young salesman (and i don't consider myself that old) that I had a square tapered bottom bracket. He repeated in disbelief, "a square tapered bottom bracket?"

He's probably never heard of one before, complete confusion on his face."

Then again he probably doesn't know the connection between a pencil and a tape, or selotape and VHS.
