I'm in need of a stock standard bottom bracket cartridge for my commuty road racer.
I've tried

http://www.probikekit.com/
http://torpedo7.com.au/
but with no success so far.
Can somebody help me?
Size is 68mm (frame width) and 110mm (Axle overall length); square taper

They ain't on the Cell Bikes web page, but they do have plenty in the shop, drop by at Stanmore on your way home from work one day. Don't cost that much.

Al has them too, just be careful you don't end up with a tandem one.

You could also try Cecil Walker

They are in Melbourne, and you often get the parts the next day or so.

If you can wait a week I may have one available. I bought some parts from a guy for my next project bike, and it includes a 111mm Campy Record cartridge square taper BB with only 100km on it. I am 90% sure it will be English threading, and I since I need Italian it's useless to me... But I won't know until my shipment arrives...

I was off-line for a while
Thank you all for the help.
I took a wet ride the next day to Mikes Cell bikes and the chap sold me a used Shimano BB for $20 which is now seemingly happy doing the job.
