Italian Bottom Bracket!

Another interesting job in the workshop today. This time Tim has been struggling to fit a new bottom into a bike that’s been brought in for a shed load of repairs.  After finally removing the old one he found the shell was far to big to fit  a standard size replacement.  After much measuring, scratching of  heads, and trying various space cups, he discovered the bike, which was made in the UK, was in fact fitted with the larger “Italian” type.  Luckily our supplier just happen to have one in stock and with express overnight delivery it will be with us in the morning. 


Once Tim has this it will only take about 30 minutes to finish the job before the customer is given a call to ask him to come and collect his rideable and safe bike!
