  1. I am trying to figure out what 111mm ISO bottom bracket I can use for
    my Stronglight Speedlight Triple crank, square spindle type.

    The Stronglight website recommends their SBB ISO-taper series.

    I was wondering if I could use a vintage Campagnolo bottom bracket,
    such as this type:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7237703159&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

    Or, can I use a more modern Campy 111mm cartridge bottom bracket?
    Is the tapered Campy axle wide enough?

    Or, should I stick with a Stronglight despite the higher cost?

    I have a Suntour GreaseGuard NOS 118mm bottom bracket I wanted to use,
    but evidentally that is JIS and I need an ISO taper.

    Thanks for your replies.

    Stonglight literature specifies spindle lengths for the square taper
    version of their Speedlight crank of 103 mm (double) and 111 mm
    (triple). The taper format for this model is ISO. The specs are silent
    regarding offsets, but I believe a symmetrical design would be best.

    The Chorus bottom bracket you cite in the auction will meet this
    standard.
