Im in the process of rebuilding the 1950 Fothergill. I've gotten around the 700 -v- 271/4 wheels stuff and I've had the rear drop outs splayed to take what it can, but it has a Bailiss & Willey Bottom Bracket which fits quite snug. My Campag Chorus doesn't seem to want to go in though, likewise a Shimano UN52. Can anyone guide me to the bottom bracket that will fit, or do I have to search for the required B&W BB ?

Thanks

I should have added its a RGW bottom bracket shell, so I'm not sure of the thread.

I've now found a cup that will fit the other side. I want to fit a cotterless system, any thoughts on axle size etc., in order that a Campag chainset can be fitted ?

I would have thought you could fit a standard sealed unit. SJS stock spindles in a huge variation of sizes which will work with your cups but unless you have the original spindle to measure, it may be difficult to get it exactly right.
