It's the width of the BB that is different, BSC is 2mm narrower than italian. Overall length will be the same, nominal 115 mm for pre CPSC, 118 mm post.

I think it has done more to emancipate women than any one thing in the world. I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat; and away she goes, the picture of untrammelled womanhood.

Does the length of a Campy NR/SR Bottom Bracket Spindle vary with the threading of the cups? IOW, will an English spindle be the same lenght as an Italian or French BB sindle? R.G. Handsfield
