I am trying to put together a road bike and have a 2003 Giant OCR3 frame. I found a crank and bottom bracket in my price range but I am not sure if it will fit the frame. The specs are: Bottom bracket is 113mm 68mm shell with spacer or 73mm shell without using spacer. BB is a BB-03-SPL-SL-113-68(E)/73; Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ask the person selling it... :)

As long as it is English threaded and it is long enough that the chainrings don't rub the chain stay it will be fine.

EDIT: Whether the BB will work depends mostly on the crank being used, as long as the BB is English threaded.

After about 2 minutes of research on Google, the Giant OCR line uses a BB that is 68mm English Threaded... More evidence that the BB will work.
