Try comparing the two bbs, and let us know what you think.

Got a brand new Miche 107mm Italian thread £10, will fit it for free if you bring the frame here (SE1).

I have a shimano UN52 that I am pretty sure is italian thread - its for a 70mm shell and I am almost certain it came off my old Lygie frame which is Italian.

Spindle is around 109mm long.

Its used, but still runs smooth and you can have it for free if you can come and collect it.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
