Voodoo Marasa frame with stout 9 speed triple chainset.
Unfortunately bb I removed from another frame that the cranks came off was such a **** to remove, I threw it in the bin with disgust and didn't look at the spindle length.

Whenever I try to embed the bike photo, Google is giving me this photo of the cathedral of immaculate conception, or maybe it's St Peter's cathedral? Either way it's not my bike, nor a photo I've ever taken!

Thanks sirromj, seems a bit short. Wonder if it would be different on an older frame. 2017 maybe, looked online but no info.

It’s not necessarily the frame, it can be the crankset design and how much the square hole is recessed. Cheaper cranksets are often 122.5, more common Shimano mid/range were 113. The .5mm will make little difference. I may have a second hand/little used 113 you can have for nothing. It’ll probably be 68 shell width.

The frame is irrelevant. The spindle length is specific to the crankset. You may be able to find it from the crankset manufacturer's website.
