I bought an FSA compact Gossamer crankset. This is the one with the latest MegaEVO 30 mm shaft on it. Very nice crankset.

Save for one little problem. They DO NOT MAKE ITALIAN BB CUPS for it.

Contacting them I'm told that since the only Italian company making Italian threaded BB's is Pinarello they decided not to make them.

Of course there are actually a dozen or more Italian custom bike frame makers that still use Italian BB's but there's no use in mentioning that to them.

So I will no longer buy nor recommend FSA components to anyone.

There is a private company in Italy that makes a BB that will fit the Pinarello but the cost of the BB and it's shipping is so high that I just bought an almost new Campy Chorus crank and cups for less.
