That's a catalog I couldn't find on the interwebs. Sure would have helped... the information I did find was wrong. Apologies to both you and @SurferRosa, - Marine Logic® doesn't play well in polite conversation.

So now I'm going to have to take a couple steps back. My assumption on the crankset was faulty. It doesn't say Ofmega anywhere on there that I could find. But it does say "Bianchi". So I can assume it has an Italian taper BB. But it sure seemed to fit fine... weird. Now I'm going to have to find some way to measure that taper. I assume checking it with a caliper at the base and tip would probably do it, no? I'll keep you posted.
