'03 Fondriest BB: Eng or ITA?

[Cooper]

I have an '03 Fondriest Top Level Aluminum frame. Can anyone tell me if it has an English or Italian threaded BB.

Getting a new frame and want to know if I can re-use the BB. Sent e-mails to Fondriest with no response and the US Distributor didn't know.

Need to know if I have to get a new BB.

If ya have the frame, take it to a bike shop or measure the width of the BB shell..if 70mm, probably italiano. If 68, english. I'm betting it's Italian threaded.

Pull the BB out, it will say what the thread pitch is on it. 1.375" X 24 tpi (68mm wide) is English. 36 mm X 24 tpi (70mm wide) is Italian.

my TopCarbon is Italian.....but it was made in Italy. My guess yours is English.
