Bottom bracket

Hi,
I am riding a Reid condor.
I bought a cheap 2nd hand bike for my friend to get into cycling with! Bike won't clear tyres wider than 23mm so decided not to keep the frame. Components are pretty good though. 2x10 sti 105.
Will such crank fit my bicycle (Reid condor)?
Not a racer, very happy with 28 mm and so far a zero puncture memory since flipping tyres.

It needs different tools to remove the old BB and then install the new one so it may be cheaper taking it to your LBS to do. Unless you love collecting every tool you ever need and buy... .

Thank you!
I'll shop for the tool/s next year!
Is the spare bike yet the others are nonserivable until the 10th of January.
Ridable yet bent crank atm.
Wishing you a happy end to the year!

Just has a quick google about your bike and it just says 'sealed bearing'. Zooming in on the crank it looks like a square taper crank. Assuming your bottom bracket is 68mm, a screw-in Shimano Hollowtech 2 bottom bracket would allow you to fit your friend's crankset to your bank.
