*ahem* That's SI = Systeme Internationale.

Named SI for two important reasons:
1. No one else uses it

If so, there are many SIs, because:

The International System of Units (SI,
abbreviated from the French Système
international (d'unités)) is the modern
form of the metric system, and is the most
widely used system of measurement. [1]

OK, list a few current bikes with 35mm threaded BB, 22.0mm
stem or 25x1 headsets please.
Then root around your bike shop for 5mm bolts threaded 0.9
SI rather than the dominant DIN 0.8.
While you're there, look for current production 14mm pedals.
