more precise and better aligned thread set for the bottom bracket bearings.

On a personal note. I hope this doesn't sound like bragging. OK, I am boasting. I have never failed to
climb aboard a Nitro Express and not been enchanted by the ride. I think you'll find that a beautiful handmade
Italian steel bike made from the possible finest materials will give you joy and pleasure with every
stroke of the pedals. Here's a picture of me riding my 1998 edition Nitro Express with Mauro Mondonico in
the hills of Umbria, Italy.
