Hello Ladies and Gentlemen.I have this,It is a 1997 Hope titanium bottom bracket,this was fitted to my 1998 WTB Bon Tempe which I sold frame only on Retrobike a couple of years ago.
This unit though obviously old and used required no attention for 15 years after fitting,at that point I replace the bearings and it went on for another 5 years until I stripped the bike for selling.
The axle is 120mm long Titanium (obviously) square drive ,one of the bearings is present,the other was slightly worn so I threw it .
The cups whilst perfect on the inside are ,as you can see worn on the threaded side,I would suggest that anyone with the tools might want to run a die around the threads before reusing,having said that they went into my Bontempe bottom bracket shell perfectly fine when greased.
The tool to fit the cups is included and One bearing ,though I would only use it for reference when ordering another.
Tatty,yes,bombproof,definitely.
If anyone wants it £40-00 posted or make me an offer.I really have no idea what to ask for .
All the best
