local bike shop near me does it well, the owner has been doing bikes all his life. £8 for BB, £5 for headset..little money when you consider how much your build will cost,,,

Go LBS  :daumenhoch:

Always get to know your LBS , they come in handy  ;) .

Yep, always get to know your LBS, the smaller the better. One day you might catch the owner about to throw out 4 pairs of 25 year old Tange TX1200's in the BAGS he found in his store room to have him accept £20 for them all......... >:D :-[

(I still have three of them, so I don't feel totally guilty)

Blocks of wood, a 3.5lb club hammer and a deep breath has always been my answer to fitting cups by the way :2funny:

Thats a classic, bet the shop owner thought he'd done well.  ;D

A local shop round here had nippon calipers in the window form approx 86 they were still there a couple of years ago mmmm might have to pop by some time.
