That BB looks close to the look of an old BB Brian Baylis showed me, about 10 years ago, when I asked him if he had any Nervex-like BBs to go with the Nervex-lugged frame I was preparing to build; I decided to fancy-carve a new i.c.BB instead. Brian? Baylis and/or Joe Bell have original Nervex decals, so, lugs, BB, crown -- and the decal = $300 + ?
