Unused Royce Ti Bottom Bracket

[smuzzy]

I have recently inherited an unused Royce bottom bracket. I suspect that the BB was fitted to a frame at some point as the cup threads have a bit if dirt in them and there are signs that the lockrings have been tightened. Howaever, the square tapers have not had cranks fitted. Its complete with Ti end bolts

Dimentions, 73mm BB width, 126mm axle width English threads

I've mailed Chris Polton at Royce and he tells me it was built with the following crank sets in mind

Cook Brothers RSR Cranks or Mavic 637 / ATB. Shimano XT, FC~M730 SG. Strongelight 80. Suntour Xc Pro, XC Ltd, XC Comp or Topline ATB triple,

I'm after £70 posted.

I'm just about to buy one of these......in a 118mm axle length

I have one already on my tourer- they are amazing little things.

Do you think I'm in the right ballpark with the price?

 

[knowthejo]

I paid about £55 for mine second hand- they are over £100 new i think-
I have heard of some people doing 12,000 miles on them....cheap!

£181 new with Lockrings and Ti bolts. Just want it to go to someone who'll appreciate and use it really.

Being new, I think that it's a fair price.

If i had the money I would buy it and put it in a glass case in the sitting room and invite people round to drink champaign and eat volavons and marvel at its beauty.
