Perhaps several onlist have been keeping track of how far crankarms are pulled onto the tapers when the bolts are correctly torqued? Knowing that, half the diminution of distance between the inside faces of the crankarms through mounting, and the variation would help in selecting spindles.
I haven't mounted enough of them, or thought ahead to take this useful measurement.

It is 109 mm long and very nearly symmetrical. I assume Triomphe used the same BB. Did C-Record also use this axle? If the Superbe Pro was a Campy taper (later to be annointed ISO) then it looks like the slightly off-topic mid 80's Campy BB's might be a good match to Superbe Pro arms. BTW, anyone know what the best Phil Wood BB is for Superbe Pro arms? Also did first generation Superbe use the same BB as Superbe Pro? Regards, Jerry Moos Big Spring, TX+

It's the odd 108mm length of the "later" (~1980's) Superbe and Sprint spindles, in Campy ISO taper size (same 2-degree taper angle as JIS) that makes these spindles unique and, as a long-obsolete wear part, hard to find.

superbe cranks will go on campagnolo spindles in a pinch...the Suntour crank that's the real oddball is the early 80s iteration of the Suntour cyclone crank. Far as I can tell, from direct, and deeply frustrating experience, those cranks work ONLY with certain very specific Suntour spindles..
