Hope Titanium Bottom Bracket

[auldain1950]

109mm taper English thread. In perfect condition with new bearings. Negligible wear on tapers and undamaged threaded cups. Cups allow for a degree of adjustability to the spindle within the frame. Titanium spindle totally straight. I've had it from new, and it has only ever been used on summertime rides on my road bike, set up with Middleburn cranks. Been unused and stored for last 6 years. Looking for £50 for this increasingly rare, extremely lightweight, BB.
Postage will be another £3. Please provide email address if you would like pictures.

edit : The taper is JIS specific for Shimano, Ritchey, Middleburn, etc, cranks. However, you can fit ISO Campy and other ISO cranks (according to Sheldon Brown)

If this is ISO fitting....it becomes very desirable!
Because it will work for pista/fixed cranks including
Campag and njs Dura Ace. Sugino SG75 and Suntour
Superbe making £53 good value.
If you get no luck here try LFGSS.
If it is JIS fitting it would be OK with a Strong light
2000 track chainset...only 0.5mm out.

I'm not aware of any Hope titanium BBs with an ISO taper. Only seen JIS versions...

Have a free bump.

Re:

It is definitely JIS tapers and therefore compatible with all Shimano and similar cranks. However, according to Sheldon Brown, you can fit ISO (Campy) onto JIS BB's, while bearing in mind the cranks will further out or in (I can't remember which). One advantage of the Hope BB cups is they allow the spindle a degree of adjustability (no limiting collars on the cups) so this mismatch of a non JIS crankset can be compensated for. In essence any crankset can be fitted to this BB, with a little care if not JIS.
