There's a chance someone here might be knowledgeable and helpful, but I think you have a better chance of finding the answer in one of the other forums here.

The specialized bikes that were sold in this country, anyway, had English threading. Still do, matter of fact. I have no experience with the English home market, but I can't imagine that they would go out of their way to make something in non-English-standard threading for y'all.

english BB, like 99.9% of frames made in Asia. Nice frame, I had 2 back in the early 1990s, a carbon fork would be a improvement over the stock aluminum
