I've just acquired a frame with an Italian bottom bracket. Clearly I'll need an Italian threaded bottom bracket, but if I fit Itallian threaded Shimano hollowtech II BB cups, will I be able to swap a Shimano chainset between the bike with the Italian BB and the other bike with an English BB? Many thanks

    I've just swapped a Tiagra chainset from a Italian BB on a Gios to an English BB on a cheap frame and have had no problems (700 miles and counting).

    Absolutely no problems because it doesn't affect the cranks
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
