I did want to clarify the part about the best tool to use, a simple old fashioned BB wrench as shown below. A pin wrench also works. There is no need to get it super tight.

Nice review. A lot of detail. Tarik is a great blogger. He has a lot of informed and interesting things to say about bikes, old and new.
I've been riding that same raleigh as my winter bike, I have it setup with 26 wheels, 1.75 studded tires. After the wheel change, I measured the trail as 39mm. I used VO porteur bars with a wald basket, the thing handles so well with a front load. but about the BB, I happened upon a loose bearing, square taper BB. But now that I see that this fits, I'm probably going to install the threadless.
Excellent writeup! Maybe convinced me to pull the trigger.
