Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Italian help please!

My new "Pinarello" frame needs an Italian bottom bracket. The seller from ebay said it was Italian 71mm which refers to the shell, right? Campy parts are going on this build, which of their BB's would I need as I saw options for 111mm and 115 spindle. A Veloce double crankset is being used.

Thanks.

You might want to post this in the mechanics forum. I am sure they can help.

Don't overpay, these are available at many online retailers, should be rather inexpensive.
