It’s not bad form as such if it’s just a BB and crankset. What is bad form is when you take a bike in for a service and you give them all the parts, as shops base their service price on selling parts too. Most shops will happily fit a BB and cranks for you.

@Chaley thanks both, would you have any idea of what that kind of job might cost?
Edit - just rang LBS (Lunar Cycles) and they were happy to do it for a rough price of £50. I'd seen someone on Youtube saying they were quoted $250 which gave me a fright.

Is it bad form to bring parts to an LBS and ask them to install them, or is it normal? It's a BB + chainset job beyond my skills / toolset but I can't afford high street RRP on the parts.
