Hi.
I've just bought a second hand Kona(I think) frame. It's a 7005 alloy beast.
I'm building it up as a winter bike(and repainting it and putting a well known and higher priced bikes stickers on it - for fun/looks - not to resell).
I want to know what BB I need. I realise that English or Italian has the thread a different way - left/right handed or right/right handed but I don't know which one.
Can someone help me with an easy/good way to tell for sure.
Thanks, Paul ;-):)

A Kona has english threads. Measure the shell width on the frame to see if it's 68 or 73mm.
