Get the frame faced. Skip this and it'll wear any brand of external BB.
Spoken to two independent bike shops now who have told me this isn't necessary, despite me saying I just want it done as a precaution... it's like they dont want my money?!
I may take it to evans, they've been the only one interested in my business so far. Weird.

Thought as much, I'll go for steel bearings.
Local shop said they don't have the tool to face the BB shell, might chance it and if things go south I'll have an excuse to upgrade to an Ultegra crank.
