Once again it all comes down to the bottom bracket. I went into my local bike shop, or actually my local permanent rummage sale that specializes in used bike parts and asked the proprietor for a 70 -118 -Italian threaded bottom bracket and he laughed and said,

"hah, good luck finding one of those, shit, you should choke your chicken while you're at it because you'll be looking so long you might as well enjoy yourself."

and I said, "uhhhhh, OK, alright thanks"

then I went to an established bike shop and not only did they have one in stock, they had five. So I bought one for my Tommasini  so I can finally piece it togehter and one for Justin too for his DeRosa, because you don't see those bottom brackets everyday.

What happened to your messenger owned bike shop Mark? And don't even chirp about a RCC that's effectively 15 years dead.
