Thanks for the reply, time to crack out the torque wrench and BB removal kit, hope there are some useful numbers on it when I get round to it.

Wow, it is the same colourway too. I'll have to have a dig around the Internet but would be interesting to try and find how long that colour was produced for to narrow down the date. I'm not sure the stamp on the bottom bracket fits with the dating thing on the Web I've found. Wonder if they...
