I have a steel road bike with an Italian BB shell. So far I've been using an old style BB (separate spindle and cups, loose bearings), but every time I ride on the rain I have to overhaul the whole damn thing since water, crud, dirt and pretty much anything else gets in there and makes a mess. I haven't been able to find a sealed Italian BB on any of the bicycle stores and workshops in my town.
Recently I came across a guy selling a Campy Athena sealed Italian BB for like $35, says it's in great condition and was recently serviced.
Is it worth it paying this much for it?
Is it a fair price?
Will I need a proprietary tool for it?
