The bottom bracket is threaded, but the inside of everything is black so it doesn't show well. There was a little surface rust and I probably wouldn't have had to paint it had the thrift store owner I bought it from not tried to clean it. I assume the Bonderizing may have accounted for the black insides and the lack of rust.
