Dumfries.

He is happy to make a trip to wherever, cheaper than new bike

NB from another thread Argos recommended, from Bristol?

Argos are good but might be worth seeign if any of your local LBS's could chase the threads through before shipping it to them?

No need to go to that expense if he uses a threadless BB. [b][u][url= http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-Prestine-Prestine-Threadless-Sealed-Bearing-Bottom-Bracket-for-Frames-with-Damaged-Threads-16505.htm ]Try SJS Cycles[/url][/u][/b]

I have used those threadless bbs they are of poor quality and come undone easily even threadlock only keeps them tight for a couple of weeks

Been done, not enough metal left.

That bb looks as it will only do for square or isis type bbs.
