Greetings list members,

I have a new-to-me track bicycle that has a bottom bracket shell width of 65mm. A quick Googling reveals that this is a very uncommon size, but also that Campagnolo made a spindle for it: 65-P-120. I haven't measured the pitch of the threads.

Can anyone tell me more about this bottom bracket size? The frame is an early 70s Eisentraut. I suppose this is also a Want to Buy post.

Thank you.
