Well, to stick up for Tom, he does live in California, in the SF Bay area. And I suspect since the time his momma bought a house, house prices have increased by 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 times. So I'm guessing its probably impossible for almost everyone except Mark Zuckerberg to buy a house out there. And all the kids live in their momma's basements. Except southern California where they build houses without basements. There the kids have to live in the garage or gardening shed. Or maybe a Muammar Gaddafi tent in the backyard.

Tom was born in 1944, according to the Internet. He never finished
high school and enlisted in the Air force so he should have been home
and working in, about 1966, some 55 years ago.

The area of my home is one of the highest rental properties so home prices remain low relative to other parts of the county. The $750,000 my home would bring couldn't even get me a condo in the better parts of the county. So here I remain. Besides my, taxes are retained by Proposition 13 which the county counsel wants to eliminate so that they can quintuple the taxes like the other counties in the area. Presently they are $3,000 a year.

I was curious why the cups I got for the Merckx almost fell through the BB and then fiddling with the numbers figures out that there is about 2 mm difference in the inside diameter of British and Italian BB's I had never though about that before.

Wow.

Tel us Frank - did you ever think of that? Rather than just putting Italian threaded Bottom Brackets into Italian shells and British bottom brackets into British sells, you sat around and calculated the difference as it you could somehow fit reverse threads into each other? Most people would consider that foolish and you've proven more than once that term applies in spades to you. How much money are you worth Frank? Do you have enough to pay subsidies to illegal aliens? Do you believe that your school is going to be able to continue paying your retirement after they go broke?

Eddy Merckx bicycles aren't Italian... they are made in Belgium. I
guess you will have to locate a Belgium Bottom Bracket.

Show us more of your overwhelming intelligence John, I'm sure that somewhere out there, there is bound to be someone stupid enough to read your gibberish and see it as funny.

Mr Merckx had Ugo DeRosa set up the facility once he had
bought back the rights to his name. Everything was Italian-
Marchetti+Lange fixtures, Cinelli cast frame parts, Columbus
tube etc and of course Italian spec threading.

Belgians are two nations trapped in the same country.
Bicycle factories in recent memory produced French metric
frames (Flemish) and BSC (Walloons) concurrently. Italian
makes as much sense as anything else in Belgium.
