Thanks for that, I never would have thought of it not being British threads.

I guess I'll get it down to a bike shop to get the threads cleaned up anyway, and hopefully they have an italian BB I can try out.

I have a Sugino Messenger crankset that I had planned on using, but I might have an issue with finding a JIS bb with Italian threading? I've never ventured into the world of Italian standards, so don't know if they're compatible with Japanese/British standards at all.

Make sure they have the correct tool. I've seen bike shops use one half of the thread reamer for a bsa threaded shell in both sides of an italian shell and fuck the frame.
