I just picked up a sweet pair of Dura Ace track cranks, so I'm looking for a BB to match for my 2004 pista, just want to make sure I get the threading correct.

Figuring that Bianchi is Italian I would assume the later.

I have a Pista Concept and it is English threaded.

I had a bike shop owner tell me last week that the bianchi pista BB is English threads.

All Bianchis in at least the last decade are English threading on BB shell....go figure.

I have an '87 Bianchi Eros (lugged Superset II) frame that I was told is Japanese built and has an english BB.
