Thanks for the tips! I'm into reusing stuff, would happily buy the headset off you. Will pm you.
re: bottom bracket - what would i have to do to fit a threadless bottom bracket? just buy the right part (this, for example)?

French threaded: I have a used Stronglight A9 complete headset with all the internal parts (Lock nut; top adjustable cup; steel bearing race; roller bearings/retainer; steel bearing race; upper pressed in race; lower pressed in cup; steel bearing race; roller bearings; steel bearing race; fork crown race).
I am after £15 - but at that rate, you might be better off getting a Velo Orange one...
For the bottom bracket, a cost effective alternative would be to use a threadless bottom bracket.
Alternative options include getting both threaded retapped in BSA, an independent shop with the right tools should charge around £20 each.
