Anyone have an Ofmega (or Avocet), Gipiemme, Galli, OMAS, etc. English thread BB with an axle length suitable for Campy NR clone double arms? I've built my wife's mid-80's Torpado Italia up with Italian but non-Campy parts, which I like to do occasionally just to show it can be done. The original crankarms were Ofmega, of the Mistral design, but a much cheaper model. I've replaced these with much nicer Campy clones (probably Ofmega) with Torpado-pantagraphed large ring. But the Mistral-type BB had an axle that is much too long and the cups are designed such that they won't work with a 113-115 mm axle. Oddly, this bike has an English rather than Italian BB.

So I'd like to buy or trade for a Campy NR clone, but not actual Campy, English threaded BB. I have an NOS Gipiemme Sprint Italian threaded BB to trade or will pay cash.
