Putting together my pista concept and was wondering what people had for bottom bracket measurements?
i know it takes a standard English thread 68mm circumfrance one but I'm curious about the chain line... is it a 110mm or 109mm width that i should be using with a Sugino RD crankset?
thanks in advance. -

I believe the RD's are matched to the Sugino 103mm bottom bracket... -

Most online stores I looked at (I have these cranks, going to put them on my next build, so I haven't used them) say they are compatible with the 103mm spindle, but I have seen "103mm, 110mm" on a few. Not sure what's up here. -

yeah, im confused. I wen to my LBS and they gave me this Shimano 110mm BB. But then i went on here just to be sure and now im in quite a conundrum as to who i should believe. -

Well, I ordered a 110 bb with my cranks so it looks like we are in the same boat :/
I believe if you place the chain wheel on the outside or inside of the spider would make a difference...
I'm confused now too. Plus 103mm bbs are like the Loch Ness monster, there are random sightings, but no one is sure if they truly exist. -

The Sugino RD cranks take a 103mm like this...http://cgi.ebay.com/Sugino-Bottom-Bracket-TH-7420-for-RD2-Crank-Track-Fixed_W0QQitemZ360119294598QQcmdZViewItem
The Sugino 75 cranks take a 109mm (or you can get away with 110mm).
If you are riding such a nice frame like a Pista Concept, you should have on stronger cranks like the 75's. Seems silly to have such a nice bike, and the low-end cranks on it. -

Seems silly that I'm poor as hell. Don't have the Pista Concept just yet! -

It's not in stock there now, but they get restock of stuff quick -

Thanks for the input guys.
But after much debating, and self convincing, I'm going to opt for the Sugino 75's after all. Figure I will just save the cranks I bought for the next bike.
I guess I shouldn't really be spending all my money on bike parts and really i can't afford it, but I have the f**king bug!
from now on only the best parts for my sweet sweet baby ; ) -

You will notice a HUGE difference in your ride with the 75s. I'm totally serious. I was riding the cheap Sugino, and they worked fine...but after I upgraded to 75s, I could feel soooo much more power, and it was much easier to make it up hills. Not to mention, they are super smooth and totally silent. The change from the cheap Sugino's to the 75's was so big, I even considered trying the Grand Mighty's, but nahhhh. too expensive. -

I"m putting together a Leader 725tr 09' with a pake crank(170mm) running a 48t chainring. I went to somafab.com and read that the pake uses a 107mm spindle on most models. However i know the leader is kind of a misfit compared for most models so anyone know if i should run a longer spinder or if my chainring might hit the stays at all?
