123mm English 68mm The BB-CS20 could be asymmetric so a modern sealed cartridge one may need to be different size. Here's a photo of it apart. The adapter cup (black plastic) goes on the drive side and the steel cup / shell goes on the non-drive side.

£35 for the wheels collected £65 for the groupset plus £7 postage with RM Tracked 48 (Medium Parcel 2.5kg)

Yep no problem. If the wheels can be picked up I can send the rest by post.
