2008 LeMond Tourmalet Bottom Bracket?

Anyone know which bottom bracket Bontrager used in these? I'm assuming 68mm English threading for the shell?

Being a road bike, you can virtually guarantee that it's a 68mm shell, too old for pressfit, and an Italian frame. Get a set of vernier calipers, or even just a ruler to measure to be 100%

What is the question about? Are you after the specific model of BB fitted, or just the fitting sizing? If you are just looking to fit a set of cranks onto the frame, just get a external BB type crank, as they just take external BB's of which there is only one size, and do don't need to work out chainlines or anything else.

Thanks guys. Yeah I was just wondering what the bb sizing and threading was in case I wanted to install a dura-ace crankset. I think you guys confirmed it would be ok, thanks!
