I have a 1978 or 1979 "Standard" Picchio Special I rescued from eBay, which I am close to putting back on the road. It came with the Dura Ace component group that was available at the time. The BB spindle carries a November 1977 date code. It has flat spots and pits; I need to replace it. It has the Shimano name and logo; is 113 mm long; has the numbers "70=W3" printed on it. So, I am looking for another one, without the pits.
I have been watching eBay dutifully for months looking for one of these; no luck; so I thought I would try the list. Happy to buy or trade from my buckets of 1970s junk.
