Rubber washers inside and outside the dropouts, not tightened and the brakes are just slid in not tightened either. I put the chain protective film on the 3 points where I tie wrapped as I didn't trust sticking the hydraulic cable guides to the frame as I didn't want any mark, the frame came with the control tech bars so they were already there. Seat post was actually mounted on another frame but I thought the Thomson was nicer. There was no paint on the face on BB area so mounting the BB hasn't affected it. Maybe lithium grease in the threads but I'm sure that's not a deal breaker for NOS.
Was the frame NOS when you bought it? As in never built?
