Lovely looking frame... Drilled front and rear? And why on earth are you writing in Sublime Text app?

Drilled front and rear yeah.
Quite new to the forum haven't posted much yet and it came up like that! Haha newbie -

Very nice. GLWS!

No this was posted in a WANTED ad and the op, probably, did the copy&paste from his own message from that thread here.
As said in that thread, this looks like a great frame for a nice price.

Drilled front and rear?
From the first picture I can seem to see the rear bridge being drilled. Which makes sense gives the mudguards eyelets on the trackends?

So, just built the bike up.
Thread is stripped on the left hand side of the bottom bracket opening.Did you have the bike built up before?
-

If it is stripped you've got few solutions:
1) return the bike for a refund :)
2) keep it, but discounted :)
3) if you keep it then I'd suggest a YST bottom bracket. They are cheap and of pretty good quality. The one on my Holdsworth is doing very well, but have a LBS tighten it for you, as I did it, but then it unscrewed!
4) re-do the threadsthen there are much harder solutions, but also expensive.

Unless you were lucky and only the very first threads were ruined.

I'm ringing my local bike shop tomorrow about re-threading. I absolutely love the frame, just want to know if the OP had similar problems.
I'll put the YST in my basket for now, just in case!
Thanks for your advice!
