Ignorance, I guess. Damn. I've had the bike since 1978, though I admit I only service it about once every 10 years. I just had to climb up into the garage loft with a flashlight and look. It's a Tange model, but the LH cup is sure labeled 35 x P1. The frame isn't worth retaping, so I hope the BB in there continues to last.
