I bought what I believe is a 1979 Carlton Criterium series bicycle frame online. The frame came with the original fork and bottom bracket, but it didn't include a crankset. It appears to be a square tapered style bottom bracket. I'm an experienced bike mechanic, but I haven't ever delt with anything like this before. Would the bb that came with the frame work with modern square taperd style cranks, or do I have to find a vintage part? Are there measurements that I should take that would help me select the correct bb? Thank you for your help.
I'm sorry, but I must not have made this clear enough for the first poster. I bought the bike without knowing what any of the original components were. It was just a frame, fork, and bb in the sale, nothing else. Also, I don't know which brand it is because there is no labeling anywhere on the bb. If it were that simple, I wouldn't have asked here.
