We have been discussing this lately, any chance the drive side will come out?

Fast forward to a bit ago. I dug it out of the garage to see what it needed to put together.
I was looking at it when it occurred to be that it had a tapered spindle instead of cottered.
so I started to remove the adjustment cup, but it's in there. Best I can figure is that the wrong cup was forced into the BB shell.
The frame has a 57cm top tube, a 57cm seat tube (measured from center of BB to top of the top tube)
The fork, the headset, simplex shifters and the neck are all fine, but the frame, it's a loss
Take a look, if there's something there that's useful to you, it's yours for the price of shipping.
