  1. Folks, I'm a basically a newbie, as far as understanding some of the
    aspects the building of a road bike, and I have a question in
    particular about road bike frames such as Colnago, Waterford, etc.

    Lets Hypothetically say I buy a NOS Colnago Frame from either a shop,
    or a private owner in the future. Let's say this Frame is a
    1998-present Crystal, Classic, Master, or Master X-Light. What can I
    expect the Bottom Bracket threading to be? Italian? English? Or did
    they have both available?

    What will Waterford Frames typically have? English Thread?

    Thanks for your help, Mark D.

    It's usually brand specific, so a brand uses one specific type. Colnago is Italian (their BB's also), don't know about Waterford but
    propably English cause almost all non Italian brands have English BB's.
