I need to order a bottom bracket for my older Calfee (carbonframes tetra pro) and I cannot remember if the BB shell is English or Italian.

Newer ones are English shell. I believe older ones (pre-98)are Italian (instructions I got with my frame indicated Italian shells on pre 98 models). Not sure...Best way to find out is to have your LBS measure for you.

CarbonFrames are old (pre 1997), and use the Italian threaded BB. I had a CarbonFrames bike (my first Calfee)and I remember it was the first time I'd seen an American made bike with and Italian bottom bracket.
