So there is a guy locally selling a DeBernardi road bike for around $200.00 complete. It is older but from the photo and description looks to be in good shape. It has Campagnolo Record Strada labeled cranks.

Currently the bike is without pedals and the guy selling it said I'd need Italian threaded pedals in order to test ride it?

Is that so? Or could I just bring a pair of regular flats or my extra set of Atacs and slap them onto the bike to give it a go?

what say ye Roadie Monkeys?

Isn't Italian threaded 9/16 instead of 15mm? If so single piece BMX cranks are that size, grab some pedals off a crummy BMX bike.

Standard high-end pedals are 9/16" x 20. The 15mm is the usual size for the wrench flats.

Never heard of italian pedal threads. Italian BB, yes. Pedals, no.

Looks like standard threading to me.

normal pedals take a 15mm wrench, crappy pedals take a 9/16" wrench and the axle size between the two pedals is different.

Right, and the spindle diameters are 9/16" and 1/2".

So all these technical answers - can someone point out to me some pedals that'll work with these cranks so I can test the bike??

aaahhhh, I see. And no, I can't point you to any pedals.....sorry. I've only heard of Italian and French BB, not cranks/pedals

I think my Time Atacs should work fine.

If I get it I surely will. But it is a big if right now.

I am saying the cranks use normal pedals that you already have. There have been some other pedal threads/pedals used on road cranks. This is not one of them.

Yep - figured that out too. I'm not sure what the seller was thinking then.......maybe he can be talked down on the price of the bike as well. We'll see.

If this is right, then you should be fine:


*** Pedal threads: ISO English & Italian 9/16" x 20tpi, American & OPC (one-piece-crank) 1/2" x 20tpi, French 14mm x 1.25mm. ***


Shirley, they are not both right-hand threaded like an Italian BB.

I've heard of french pedals being different but not eye-talian.

Sounds like he is confused. Maybe it's got an italian BB, or maybe he's thinking about an italian crank puller.
