I just recently got 1978 P14 Schwinn track frame. She's still some where near Ohio. I thought I would try to get BB ready before she got to San Francisco.

It probably the best deal on e-bay ever. The action was for frame and fork, but when the gentleman who sold me the frame e-mailed me that he has shipped the frame out, he said he threw in a set of Campy track training wheels and some extra parts for me. Man oh man...

Thaks for the help in advance!

I will be VERY surprised if it turns out to be anything other than English/ISO 1.37x24.

The axle is 68-P-109 (I believe).
English threading as JohnE states.

I think (I hope) the english BB for Pista, on the axle should say 68-P-120.
120 is the rear spacing.....
Does anyone know for fact?

yah, I believe that's correct, the 109 is for OLD (as in REALLY OLD) spacing.
the 120 is more current.
