Nice work, I’ve been thinking of converting a Continental for some time and was wondering how you fit a modern bottom bracket and 3 piece crank on your Varsity? Short of purchasing a new 1 piece crank, American bottom bracket and 48t chainwheel what’s the best route to fit a threaded bottom bracket into an old-style American frame?
