I emailed directly to FSA and they emailed back that they do not make their MegaEvo BB's in Italian threads. Your reference was to a MegaExo - a 24.5mm cup.
No...click the link, that is a MegaEVO. Maybe they meant they don't make them for the USA market.
If you don't think Colnago or DeRosa are boutique, you have too much money. They are not common in the mainstream retail market which, to me, makes them boutique since they are only available through exclusive shops.
