Popped into the flash new Evans that's just opened up and asked if they did bottom brackets. Yes, but they're not on display - which one were you looking for? Shimano UN54. Off he goes. Hmmm, thinks I, might he not have asked what fitting/spindle length I was after?
Waiting by the front desk, a member of staff is pumping up a customer's kids bike with a track pump. The contortions led me to wonder whether he might be overdoing it a bit....BANG! 'That didn't sound quite right, Lance,' said the girl on the counter with a laconic smile. I noticed the customer wasn't smiling.
Numpty reappears and hands me a box. Hmmm, says I, 73mm...I think this is Italian. I need a British fitting. Look a bit further - indeed, there's a cross in a box on the outside of the box. There you go - Italian. 'It says UN54,' says muppet boy. Thanks but...
We never did get as far as spindle length....
