it's not just the threads, it's also the diameter of the shell, italian is slightly larger. plus, english is better, no unthreading and creaking.

Ebay the DA BB and buy an english. Don't ruin your frame...

You can.
get a torch and an Italian BB shell and rebraze it onto your frame...

OR just buy an english thread DA bb
