Speaking of Euro-Asia Imports, I purchased an Italian-thread NR bb from them a few years ago. When I received it, all was original Campy except the spindle. It seemed well machined, but was very obviously not a Campy. No markings at all. In my opinion, it didn't run as smooth as a true Campy spindle would.

I felt this was a bit shifty. I understand if the correct spindles were not available. But the fact that what was being shipped was not completely a Campy product should have been indicated before purchase, either in the catalog or apon ordering. Subsequently I've seen NIB campy BB's cheaper than what I paid wholesale anyways. I asked E-A who made the spindle, and they wouldn't say. Anyone have knowlege of where these were or may have been sourced.
