Torelli question...

Hi all!

Do any of you know how late Torelli/ Mondonico used Italian threading on BBs & forks? More exactly, were they still using it as late as 1995 or '97, or had they shifted to ISO by then?

I might snag a nifty old Corsa Strada frameset for next summer's restoration project, but it might be more trouble than it's worth... (So I'm sorta trying to get a reasonable idea of how much trouble I'd be getting myself into. )

If I got it, I think I'd prefer to upgrade to a King 1" HS instead of keeping the original Campy Veloce HS currently fitted. While I have quite a bit of experience with Japanese framesets, I'm mechanically unfamiliar Italian frames (I've enjoyed riding them, but never had to work on them); I've been told that Italian & ISO threading almost match up, but really- how snugly do they actually fit together?

Any advice?
