Remember by thinking of Italian poster girls...
36 x 24 is Italian (the old 36-24-36 Italian girl measurements) while 1.37 x 24 is Englishjroden said:I have a octalink BB-6500 that I forgot which bike it came off--if it says 68 then BC 1.37x24 and indicates a width of 109.5 is this Italian or normal? Thanks, I'm guessing Italian, tell me how I will know next time, thanks--John
