Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

The ISO and Italian fork threads are the same diameter and pitch, except that 1" ISO (BSC) has standard 60° thread forms and the Italian 25.4mm is a Whitworth 55° profile.

They're close enough that folks have long since stopped worrying about the difference.

Usually, the underside of the locknut has the thread info stamped in, or if you have a magnifying glass, thread form gauge and good eyes you can read the fork.
