Neither nor, a beater with french threads :/ Hence my attempt to swap the spindle without changing the cups. The only french threaded iso tapered bb with the right width I could find is an skf for £150 which is way beyond the budget for this build (bought the frame for 80€). I guess that leaves me with the following options:
- Get the bb shell chamfered and get a mavic bb. Pricy and a hassle but iso.
- Velo Orange french threaded BB
- Velo Orange threadless BB
- Or one of those cheapo Neco BBs with french threaded cups from ebay.
The latter three options are all jis afaik.

Are you trying to fit 7600s to an Italian frame? BB-7610 with Italian threads is the way forward, you can probably find a NOS one for under £200 :) If it's just a beater, plenty of people seem happy with 111mm ISO cartridge BBs such as Campag Centaur, and the #tester_approved Token ones come in 111mm ISO/Italian too.
