I don't know what was causing the issue with the bb thread, but it only affected one side. I got it in eventually after some bruises and a lot of sweat, only to find the other side thread in quite nicely.
Anyway, it's built:
Pretty happy with it, though I know now it needs decals, and a lot of dirt/mud. Front end needs further chopping. Looking forward to seeing how the handling has changed too. Only got dynamo lights with me so won't be commuting home on this, that'll have to wait until tomorrow.
