I was after one. Wanted to go UN72/3 which are good kit. Couldn't find one anywhere, so decided to Phil Wood.

Ridiculous money, but wow, talk about a thing of beauty and a joy forever...

Can change the bearings out too

I jave one of these in both MTB`s. One firm tap on the cranks ( without the chain on ) and they will spin 4 revs, no problem.

I think charlie maybe looking to find a supplier he can use to source bb's for his business, rather than buy individual items?

I have asked the same question to my LBS. Apparently a spanish company (probably casamasefer) do a square taper one with cartridge bearing and allow cups.
