My road commuter has gone, it says Road BC 137 on it, can I not use my spare MTB BB ?

Yes you can. As GW says, use the road sleeve with the mtb cups. The road cups are about 1mm wider than the mtb cups. That is unlikely to cause too much of a chain-line problem, but you may possibly need to fiddle with your front mech if you're using one.
