The part is called a lugless bottom bracket shell and they are available
at most bike shops for $6.00. Tandem bottom bracket shells with and
eccentric are also available. Bottom brackets can also be recycled from
donor bikes which have been crashed.

If you want more information, new bottom bracket shells or access to
used bike frames contact me of line.
