This reminds me of my 1982 Trek, which I bought new from a Trek dealer as a bare frame with only headset and bottom bracket installed. It wasn't until years later I realized the BB was Italian threaded. How did this happen? I don't know. I can speculate. You can speculate. Doesn't change anything, doesn't answer anything. Unless we track down the person who tapped the BB out to Italian and ask him/her why, we aren't going to know.
