Bottom Bracket Is In

Well, after a mishap of ordering the wrong bottom bracket, I finally got it installed. When I measured the width of the space for the bottom bracket and converted it from imperial to metric, I got 70mm. What wasn’t clear to me was that 70mm = Italian and that my measurement was off by 2 mm. Lo and behold, the first one just wouldn’t fit. Ain’t bottom bracket standards grand?
Now, once I’m confident I have the right measurement of the space between the chain stays correct, I can order a the parts that, if my initial measurements are correct, will allow me to modernize this bike’s drive train.
