Serotta Colorado BB width?
Im building up a Serotta Colorado Legend TG frame and not sure what size 102mm vs 111mm is needed?
I want to use a Campy Record BB like below:
Campagnolo Record BB 111mm Bottom Bracket Square Taper English Thread
Im pretty sure Serotta take a English Threaded BB, maybe they are all 102mm?
These are also square taper BB and this will fit the CR crank that I have for this bike.
Guess a Chorus model would also be fine, is there really that much of a diff?
TIA
Joe

The length of spindle you need is determined by the crank, not your frame. Your bike almost certainly has a 68mm bottom bracket shell, English threaded. Which exact crank are you planning on using?
The earlier Campagnolo Record cranks use a longer bottom bracket spindle than the later ones. You have to match the bottom bracket spindle length to the version of the crank you are going to use

Serotta has a 68mm bottom bracket shell width and is standard British threaded.
As stated above, the crankset will determine which bottom bracket you’ll use.

BTW, the BB shown is what I need and what did not come with my purchase. Buyer has no clue what happened to it
