also that headtube/cup issue, surely as that race (especially being the bottom race that takes all the pressure) gets used it's going to distort. Sorry don't want to negative about such a lovely F&F from such a well known builder but if you're going to keep this surely it deserves going back to BJ and saying there's too much wrong with it.
I wonder if you should a few other things before progressing further?

There's also a good posting on the ctc forum by colin531 about this but I can't find it
