    Hello,

    I have an old Fuji team bike which I am renovating. I just had it repainted. When I took it apart, I
    was careful to write the bottom bracket, headset, and seatpost size down. But I lost the paper on
    which this stuff was written 🙁 Now I need to know what size bottom bracket I need. The seatpost and
    headset I can figure out.

    The bottom bracket is 68mm standard shell size. It will have a Shimano 105 double square-splined
    crankset put on it. The crankset part # is FC-01056.

    Thanks in advance,

    - Boyd S.
