I thought I new what I was doing but I crossthreaded my f-ing bottem bracket!!!!! Not very far but the damage has been done!
Is it possible to fix:( ?

Argh!!!
Re-tap and re-die. Which side did you jack up?
The non-drive side is a cup that can be replaced. If the actual BB is fine, and it's the shell that is screwed, then it's even easier to simply re-tap the BB and then get a new BB (or the other cup. I wouldn't really try to re-dye the BB, to sketchy. Just replace it if it was the non-cup side).
Sorry to hear that man. Sucks when it happens.

Thank you for you simpathy.
the drive side bb and the frame itself are both fucked.
Would a bike shop have the tools to "re-dye"?

yep, i wrench at a shop, and we can very very easily re-thread a bottom bracket. its really not that big of a deal. you may have the best luck at a more road oriented shop cuz they'll prolly have a full Campognolo kit, which includes the tool needed to retap a BB. dont sweat it dude, it happens to all of us.

A shop will be able to re-tap the frame, but they will recomend getting a new BB.

yea, my shop (my location) doesn't have the campy set, but one of our other stores does. It only costs a few bucks too. Have them order and then install the BB too. Total of like 15 bucks labor or so and then your BB.
