Thanks for the info. I'm using 50mm with 2.35 tires. I'm going to give it a try. Heard nothing but good about them.The only ‘issue’ I’ve found is the cup/bearing combo is wider/deeper than stock. I was installing it on a bike that needs the chainring spaced out to avoid chain/tire contact (the rear wheel is 80mm and a 26x3.5” tire...) this scenario left very little threads on the non-drive side, unless you find a wider crank (like old MTB stuff).
I’m not expecting that issue on this bike, as I’m using a 1.5” wide rim and a 26x 1.75 tire.
I can tell you this, when it was installed, it was as smooth as glass

Awesome crank! Is this bottom bracket custom made? Or can you order this somewhere?Crank will be this 1956 JC Higgins mated to a sweet sealed cartridge bearing BB setup. A set of all black ‘Schwinn bow tie’ style pedals. Chainring will either be the Schwinn cloverleaf (chrome is shot, so painted), then I’d need to source/fabricate a chainguard OR the Tuf-Neck chainring with the bash guard. Would need to source a spider for it. Leaning towards the Tuf-Neck

Started stripping the house paint/enamel off today. Whoever painted it red apparently stripped the original Opaque Blue and red oxide primer off most of the frame. I did find some original paint and primer on the BB shell and inside the tubes.
I will not be returning it to its original color
Got the ‘easy’ tubes stripped, I’ll start the rear triangle tomorrow.

It’s a older Tange unit, here’s the pics from the eBay auction.Awesome crank! Is this bottom bracket custom made? Or can you order this somewhere?
My guess: the nut and cone that holds this together is on the other side of the picture.
I like the direction you are going with this build!
Thanks for sharing doc, that is some neat stuff. Maybe I can mill something myself in the future, but keeping my eyes peeled for now.It’s a older Tange unit, here’s the pics from the eBay auction.
