Subject: [CR]Questions for the List: Phil BB's and Brooks Team Pro

Two questions for the list:

When did the large rivet Brooks Team Pro first appear? I know it was early 70's, but can anyone pin down the exact year? I just bought a mint 1973 all-chrome Paramount on eBay. I want to change the Unicanitor saddle to a Pro. I like the team Pro, but it may be just a year or so too new, so perhaps I should use the small-rivet Pro.

Second, what is the proper axle length of the Phil Wood BB for Campy NR? For C-Record? For modern Campy? Do the Phil "Campy" models just have more offset to the right than "regular" Phils, or is the taper angle different as well?
