If it's threaded, it's Euro. Both Spanish and Mid-BB are press-fit. With it being 2001, it'll either be Euro or the older (and much larger) American BB.

If it's 2001 and it's not threaded then it's definitely American. Both Fly and FBM (who instigated the Spanish and Mid-BB designs respectively) didn't do so until a couple of years ago.
