[Closed] Road bb and chain set question

Just removed the BB on my road bike, it's a campy English thread, square taper.
I need to replace, but want to do the cranks as well.
Do I need to stick to square taper, or is there a better option?
I wouldn't mind swapping to shImano to match the cassette, and change the frame as well, as its a bit of a mish mash of stuff at the mo.
Thanks

I meant chain not frame.

The BB says campy 1,370 x 24 TPI

I couldn't swear it will work for you but I've just bought one of these [url= http://www.merlincycles.com/bike-shop/road-parts/transmission/chainsets-road/shimano-tiagra-4500-chainset.html ]http://www.merlincycles.com/bike-shop/road-parts/transmission/chainsets-road/shimano-tiagra-4500-chainset.html[/url]

I've received them and can confirm that the specifications say 68mm 1.37 x 24 T.P.I

(p.s. only triples in stock)

You can put any threaded bottom bracket in there as long as it's the right thread. Is your old one loose bearings?
Campagnolo square taper is slightly different to Shimano, just in case you stick with that system.

Great, so a shImano hollow tech BB and crankset will work.
Cheers, that tiara one looks perfect.

If you're after a triple, I've got a nearly new one I've just taken off a bike.

Can you email me some piccies or details?
I'm after a double, but the campy mech might cope witha triple.
What BB would it need?
