Spindle length question
I am slowly putting a 77 Centurion Pro-Tour back together. I have everything but the crank and I'm trying to figure out my spindle length. While I am waiting for a good deal on a Sugino Mighty Tour, I may put on a clean SR Apex double that I have from a 79 Centurion. I have two sealed bottom brackets, 68/107 and a 68/110, though I am not experienced enough to figure out what spindle length I need. I have no idea what the stock spindle length was/is.

You may have to experiment a little bit to get the perfect chain line. Even when cranks are supposed to have the same amount of offset, I have seen a difference.
