I used to own a Cinelli Starship - wonderful ride! The bb threading on all Cinellis is Italian (70mm). Enjoy your new ride!

Thanks Brian

Be careful when you put in the BB, whatever size it is.

I've seen 2 brand new Cinelli Proximas with the thread "pulled out", which was apparently caused by too much paint, or too much something on the threads...I dunno.

One of the damaged frames is still at Bicycle Recycle in Melbourne, so if you're curious as to what happened, give them a call: 03 9555 8692
