What bb thread for a C40 HP

[HandyAndy]

Hi Guys,

Doing a bit of restoration on my C40 HP. Does anyone know what kind of BB they take? ie. Is it Italian or English threaded?

Thanks

Aren't current colnago frames english thread? I don't know when they switched from italian to english threading - so seems like a fair question, no?

Yes it is a fair question. All new Colnagos ,with the exception of the Master X, are English thread. I too don't know when the change occurred, but I just got confirmation on the 2012's and this is where it stands today. The information on many websites was conflicting, so I went directly to Colnago of America.

My C50 is a 2009 model ( maybe built in 2008) and is still Italian

Considering the switch to English threading was a recent change and the C40 wasn't made after 2004...hmmm, must have woken from a long COMA!!!

Just messing with ya!

Have you posted pics of your C40? C40 pics can never get old in here brutha!!

Thanks, I thought it was Italian but then I heard they had switched. Just needed to confirm!

Will post pics once its gone through a refurb. Got most of the parts, just debating getting the paintjob touched up, especially around the dropouts.
