yes; and it depends on the crank set you choose and the width of your frame.
This one uses cone style bearings - which are included: http://www.amazon.com/Pyramid-Piece-Bottom-Bracket-Conversion/dp/B000AO9O12/ These require a separate BB: http://www.amazon.com/BB-Conversion-Cups-Action-American-euro/dp/B003Y81FUO/ http://www.amazon.com/SBS-Aluminum-Bottom-Bracket-Conversion/dp/B000C1251E/ http://www.amazon.com/BB-Conversion-Bp-American-To-Euro/dp/B001G8TSPS/

Hey Nigel I noticed the above (1st link you put ) is 130mm?
Good maintenance to your Bike, can make it like the wheels are, true and smooth!

Hi Bill;
I had not noticed that...... From the appearance of it, the axle could probably be replaced with one of the many others Pyramid catalogues.

I'd go with the SBS conversion. You still have to pick a BB, which will depend on the crankset you choose. If you pick the Pyramid kit, you may have to change the axle depending on the crankset you choose.
