I hope this is the correct subforum for my question.

I have a campa veloce 9-speed 1998/1999 groupset on an old frame with ITA BB.

I'd like to build up a new frame with the group set on. The new frame is BSA 68mm. And I'm not sure which new BB to look for.

I've looked at this

https://www.bike24.net/1.php?lang=2;content=8;navigation=1;menu=1000,4,23;product=3950

My old frame has ITA threaded BB. The ITA says something like 36x24f. Google says it means:

It's Italian BB threading: 36mm thread diameter and 24 tpi thread pitch

Not sure, if it has any relevance.

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated

You'll need a British (68mm) bottom bracket with ISO taper. As regards length, 111mm generally fits ok for a road double.

Thank you for your answer.

So as far as I understand, I should rather look at something like this?

yes that should work, you'll also need the spline fitting tool

personally prefer the veloce, which is cheaper (and requires the 6 point fitting tool)

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.
