Sometimes you find a BSC BB jammed into a Swiss BB shell, it CAN fit with some thread deforming! Anyhow I'll be watching for more updates!

One more curveball I'd throw just for grins. consider: "Austrian".
My notes say it's a Sugino 1.37x24 BB. I stripped everything from the frame except the headset, DT shifter clamp, and BB. I will be going to get some of my remote parts next month, so I'll see how the BB fit is at that time. Probably why most of my stuff has Italian BB, no questions with a 70mm shell.
