Pinarello Monviso

I can't seem to find the specs on this. A 2000 Pinarello Monviso frame,
Italian or English threaded BB? Anyone?
thanks,
Karl

I'd be amazed if it was anything but ITA. (I've had 3 Pinarello's, none
that old, though.)

Me too, covering much older frames.

yes, all Pinarellos are the far superior Italiano BB threading...

That's not entirely true (on perhaps more than one level). Some
Pinarello models now have English bottom bracket shells (e.g.,
Galileo, Suprise Pista among others).

Argh! I haven't felt so let down since Alfa Romeo went front-wheel
drive!

As a former owner of an Alfetta GT, I can assure you that Alfa Romeo
was no stranger to letting people down. I'm perhaps guilty of some of
the same though, by misquoting Sheldon (should have read:" Semper
fallacia sunt dicti absoluta" [Categorical statements are always
wrong]).

In a full power-on oversteering slide in an Alfa 75 Turbo with the
perfect 50-50 weight distribution, and the long moments of inertia, all
let downs like plastic bits falling off are quickly forgiven.

I must admit I am a hopeless Italophile, and Alfa's are among the more
rational car choices I've made.

I'll take your word for it, as I'm not a Pinarello dealer. Are these
made in Italy? Methinks they are made 'off shore'. So all Italian made
Pinarellos are the far superior Italian BB threading.
