Hi,

Does anyone have info on which modern shimano BB's would work with a old set
of Shimano 600 (FC 6207) double cranks. Has the square taper changed and
what spindle length would I need?

Shimano's service handbook shows that the BB-6207 bottom bracket (for
the FC-6207 crank) has a 116 mm spindle (D-3L type) with 68 mm b/b
shells. For 70 mm shells, the spindle length will be 119 mm (D-5LL
type).
