I have indeed fucked the threads. Will take it to the shop and ask what they reckon. Presumably this is not something I should attempt myself, given my impatience and cack-handedness with the bottom bracket.

Will an external BB not be the ideal solution? See https://www.bikemonger.co.uk/yst-threadless-bottom-bracket-58-p.asp?_=&variantid=60

I have one of these on my old Carlton steel frame, works fine. Mavic used to do something similar, I had one on my Vitus 992 many years ago.

That could be an option. Limited to square taper cranks, though. Which may not be an issue as the plan is to build it up with 'modern' components that are on the older/cheaper end of things.
