Flights on a Euro BB?

Hi All! I have just purchased a Haro Cruiser which seems to have an MTB style BB. (Is it called Euro?) Anyhow, the narrow threaded type. I want to fit a set of the 401 flights you see on the US bay to give it an old school touch. Can this be done? All the cranks seem to come with the standard large BB.

Yep you can.
I got a set of 401's from American cycles last year for my new school cruiser and they came with both US and Euro BB sets
Here's a link and they ship fast!

Thanks all for the info. Well at least I know it can be done. I wish you hadn't posted that link 'Nosnod', I have just found a world of cranks, lol. What a site!
