Frame looks great! The color really pops after the polish. :-)
About the bottom bracket: not wanting to talk badly about your lbs but they've done quite a poor job with facing and chasing. The bb shell face is not supposed to be full of chatter marks afterwards but smooth and shiny. Guess their cutter was already blunt or the tool has got a lot of play, etc.
I hope the bottom bracket went in smoothly and sits straight anyway!

Did a bit of a mock up over the weekend with some parts bit stuff just to get a feel for the bike.
Although had a bit of an issue with the bottom bracket... Something went messy with the drive side threads which meant when the BB was threaded in it did not sit flat against the frame. It turned out that the BB thread on the drive side cup was messed up and it managed to cross thread the frame and also looked like it needed a chase and a face in any case... so down to the shop
There was not much meat left and it started going slightly into the weld area, although it looked like this was already the case when I got it, width still measures at 68mm in any case.
