I was about to buy a £50 Campag pista BB, but was unsure due to the lack of sealing. Then spotted this high tech jobbie for the same price but half the weight on EBay (right axle lengh and taper). Thing is I'm pretty sure the biggest friction point is the bearing seals, so the Campag might actually spin better.
Feck it, they feel nice, dont look like failing any time soon, lighten the bike, and I enjoyed the purchase. Picking up nice components is a big part of the fun of putting a bike together for me.
