Which carbon frames have kept threaded BB??

Looking for a new carbon frame(set). However, can't stand creaking bottom brackets. Have never really had any issues with Hollowtech2 but have had loads of creaking on Cannondale BB30 & a Giant with Pressfit. Hence the wish to stay with something "out of date" but which I know works. Anyone know any names?

    Basso.
    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.

    Hi Arty,
    Just looked on Look website which says they're now PF 30. Progress?!

    Colnago C59 ( some good offers around now the C60 has been launched) and you can also opt for threaded BB on Italian built custom frames from Wyndy Milla and Comtat.

    Just because a carbon frame doesn't have a threaded BB, shouldn't exclude it from your range of choices. There are a range of good, reliable solutions you can use to enable the use of 24mm Shimano cranks on B30, PF30 etc. frames.

    Bb86 works as well as threaded BB's so look at bikes with these as well. BB30 and PF30 are the two standards that are a bit pointless compared to BSA BB shells now BB86 exists.

    +1 - the C59 is a lovely frame to ride and doesn't look too bad either!

    Not sure - I got mine several months back and haven't been looking recently. There were plenty of offers around then.

    Sizes and numbers obviously limited and haven't done exhaustive search but here's some I have spotted:
