1221.0. "wanted: used crank! building frameset" by GLDOA::BOBBITT () Mon Jun 26 1989 11:02

    I am building up a Bianchi SLX frameset.  I put my money into the
    frame and don't have much to spend on components.  I will be
    transfering most of my parts off of my TREK 400D and onto my new
    frameset. In the future I will upgrade the components, Campy Athena,
    probably.
    
    I do have one critical need. I cannot locate an Italian bottom bracket
    to fit my Sakae SX crankset.  I have heard bad things about trying
    for a "close" fit.  So instead of buying a B.B. that should work
    "okay" I am considering getting another crank.  I cannot afford
    a new one at this time.....so I am looking for a used Campy or better
    quality Shimano/Suntour etc. crank that I can readily buy a B.B.
    for.                         
    
    Any suggestions would be appreciated as well.
    
    Thanks for the help.
    

    Check the Performance catalog, I remember seeing their own brand
    of BB were inexpensive and are offered both English and Italian.
    I also believe they offered three types to fit most crank arms.
