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.

No probs with availability. Shimano UN55 Italian thread bb from CRC is £12.49 - in 107, 110, 113 and 115mm spindle-length.

That would be ideal.

I will need to recheck the required chainline for my cranks (Sugino Messengers), the internet had told me I needed a 103mm spindle, but hopefully it was wrong.
