Yes, threading is correct. The Campy BB manual mentions that an increase in axle pin rotation friction may be due to a deformed BB cage or the supports not being axial. They suggest to reduce the torque setting at 30 Nm (instead of 70). The thing is that if the BB shell was deformed I should not have been able to install the Token BB... I had no friction with that one.
I guess that when fully screwing the left cup I apply too much force on the bearings (the Campy BB is not a closed system, reason why I first bought the Token) and thus get friction.
Not a huge problem, I just hope that the left cup will not unscrew with time. Will see.Cheers

I use the Campagnolo pista cranks. Clearance is fine with the Campagnolo BB, I am just a bit annoyed that I can't totally screw the left cup. Did not have the problem with the Token.

They provide the exact same excuses to everyone, whatever the period of the year you order.
For those who bought/ordered a Pelizzoli frame, be very careful with the painting. While installing the bottom bracket I slightly ripped and hit (not very hard) the frame with the wrench. A piece of painting is gone already... I guess there will be many others soon.
I got some issues with the BB. I first installed a Token (Campagnolo compatible), but the clearance between arm crank and chainstay on the non drive side was less than 1mm. Was not big fan of that, so I changed it for a Campagnolo record pista. Clearance is slightly better, but I can't fully screw the left cup or the BB do not spin freely anymore. First experience with a Campagnolo BB, I never had that before. Is that normal?

Technically only if ulooking is not Caucasian ;-)

Seat clamp is included with the frame, size is 31.8mm. I put a Campagnolo Record TTC headset.

Calm down ;-) I am sure you will get your frame at the end of this very painful process.
Once I received the geometry and agreed on it, it took about another month to have the frame ready. I never received any photo during the welding process (I know some customers got pictures of that in the past). If you asked for a custom paint job, then you will probably have to wait longer.
Anyway, anyone thinking to order a Pelizzoli should be aware of all of this!

Here you go, hoping it works now.

Trying to attach the photo again...

I don't think the frames are now made in China. It is a small family business and the father was the frame builder. He is getting old, and it seems that the sons are now welding/painting, with apparently less expertise.
I do not have much problems waiting a few months for a hand made frame, but I would expect the company telling me the truth about the delays, and replying to my emails the same way they replied before I paid. That is the most annoying thing to me. You paid, so wait and keep your mouth shut.
Looking very very close, there are some minor paint job flaws, but nothing really bad.
Here is a photo of the bike, just built this afternoon. First test ride tomorrow :-)

Only thing we can do is to spread the word so nobody order these bikes anymore. The way they treat customers is just not acceptable and it seems getting even worse... One year and two months waiting (HeHz), come on.
I am riding mine for some weeks now, after having had some issues with BB. To be honest I must say I love it, although I would prefer not seeing Pelizzoli written on it ;-)
Geometry is great, very tight as I wanted, bike is very stiff. Painting is poor quality and quite fragile unfortunately.
Anyway there are probably hundreds of more reliable welders over the world. So avoid Pelizzoli like the plague.
