I'm rebuilding a 1997 Cannondale (I believe it's a 2.8 frame). The 600 series left crank arm threads are stripped so I'm replacing the bottom bracket and crank set w/ an ultegra set.
The old BB unit is a shimano BB-UN71, 68 x113 (only find 113 on bb, measured bike to get 68).
The ultegra BB are 68x109.5 or 68x118. Which do I use?
Also, can a Dura-Ace BB be used w/ Ultegra cranksets?

Yes, the Dura Ace BB can be used with the Ultegra crankset, as long as they are both Octa-Link. However the Ultegra BB is is easier to set up, requires no maintenance and is less expensive that the D/A BB. Weighs slightly more though.
