I'm talking about the Octalink V1 splined ones.

Anyone know anywhere that might still have one on a shelf?

I'd like to replace the one on my road bike with like for like, but it seems they are now out of production. I don't really want to have to downgrade to the 5500 and can't really justify an upgrade to the Dura-Ace ones.

Don't want to upgrade the whole crankset, either - not worth it on that bike and will look totally out of place with the rest of the groupset.

Thanks in advance.

Edit - I need the English 68mm shell with 109.5mm spindle length.

In reply to LastBoyScout:

The old octalink BBs were pretty bomb proof bearing wise in my experience so I really doubt you'd notice any difference at all if you "downgraded" to a lower range part. The weight difference is also probably negligible.
