I am restoring a McLean frame (+/-79) and am considering modifying the rear dropout spacing to 126mm from the current 120mm. BB is 68mm. Can someone confirm what BB axle length/configuration I would need for a NR/SR crank. The bike has had a Phil Wood BB 113mm in it since it was built and the Phil BB was a bit off center to the right (+/- 2mm) to get the crank aligned properly with the 5 speed 120mm spacing in the rear. I haven't decided weather to keep a Phil Wood BB (new size) or switch to a Campy NR BB. A Phil Wood guy says 119 but I'm wondering if that would be too long. Any help would be much appreciated.

On another matter, I have a +/- 1980 Colnago with Campy 170 SR cranks with flat non-fluted arms in excellent condition. This is a recent aquisition. I am skinny and have always ridden a 175mm crank and am looking for an exelent condition 175mm SR crank to buy or ideally trade for the 170 I currently have. I would consider a 172.5.

Am also looking for a regina 2 prong freewheel remover in VG or better working condion.

Thanks much!
