Your expert help would be appreciated!
Back then an Italian bikebuilder would rather die than use an English BB.
Pinarello probably would have had a coronary if they knew that I had used Shimano Dura-Ace on my '87 Montello back then. My shop made me pronounce it "DUR-AHHHCHEE" when ever I would come in.
