@GazzaMaxx Yes, to getting it chased and faced, there is a price, for the cheap price and a bit of over spray in the threads can make it a right pain in the arse to fit the BB correctly.
The frame I got before christmas had had the BB threads cut at a slight angle so the bb would not go in straight. By the time i'd worked this out I'd fitted the headset and cut the steerer tube and had the BB chased by a bike shop that confirmed the problem. It was too much hassle to send it back so I'm now using a self threading BB which works much better than the review on the internet suggests. anyway, I digress.
