Shimano UN73 BB - ISO or JIS?

Re: Shimano UN73 107mm cartidge bearing bottom bracket (https://sheldonbrown.com/harris/botto...s.html#shimano).

I was under the impression that this was an ISO taper. John a Business Cycles just wrote me back from a discussion we've been having and said it's actually JIS. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks,

if you pay attention closely, as well, it says that the shimano are ISO/english THREADED bottom brackets and that they fit all non french/italian cranks, which means that they are JIS. he says above that the FSA bottom bracket is JIS and that it's shimano compatible.

Ahh bugger. So much for that option then. Thanks, Shants.

Edit: well, duh. Christ, what was I thinking? I need to stop researching this **** at 4 in the morning. *sigh*
