I know that, I'm just not super familiar with the retapping process, what I was hoping is since it was Hallowtech II that the threads weren't utilized all that much for stability of the crankset (and hoping that I might just be able to use some locktite), I am aware of the Italian solution, but am having trouble finding a shop in Toronto to do it. Their resounding response is usually, "have you looked at this Giant bike?" I mostly want to keep the frame because I like how it rides, but the cottered crankset is no longer serviceable.

Do you know how much tapping to Italian would cost? Because I do know the Shimano makes an Italian bottom bracket to compete with Campy.
