naw man, a Montreal bike is a rusty U0-8 with a milk crate bungee corded to the back. Though Montreal is awash in Marinoni and Miele bikes. Usually around 500-600 for a special on CL

This thread has gotten ugly and I'm afraid it's my (unintended) fault that the tone went sour. This response...
to my (intended) light-hearted question about what bottom bracket threading would be used in a Marinoni made it sound like I was casting aspersions on Mr. Marinoni's bona fides as a Canadian or on the provenance of his beautiful bicycles. I am so sorry for this: he and his bicycles are as Canadian as hockey fights and back bacon, and much more worthy of being proud of. If I was making fun of anything, it was the narcissistic obsession that Canadians of my generation have with figuring out what it means to be Canadian. If Terrors is younger than I am, his missing of my point just probably means that this weird thing I grew up with is not on the radar screen of his generation, and that's a good thing.
So yeah, maybe the jibe that "CANADIAN referred to a whole bunch of nuthin" isn't too far off the mark if it was being aimed at me. I just feel like a jerk now.

I can corroborate that Marinoni had some frames manufactured outside his Lachenaie facility, having being issued one for the 1991 season. All the contract built frames I've seen bore dual serial numbers, one being the manufacturer's and the other being Marinoni's. There were even some Japanese built frames.
All the Marinoni built frames I've owned and worked on, up to and including a couple of 1991 models, have had Italian threading. Forum member Cyclotoine has a 1992 with English threading, so there may have been a switch sometime during 1991/1992.
