Facin' & Chasin'. Can anyone help?

I've just finished building a frame in my garden and am in need of someone, either privately or a recommended LBS, to face and chase my BB, HT and ST.

Can anyone help?

Might help a bit if you mentioned your location...

Sorry Ed. I'm North London - N16

Does Hackney Bike Workshop have the kit for that?

maybe sargent and co or push as they are closest.

I had no idea these services would be so expensive!

Two Wheels Good and another LBS (whose name escapes me now) are wanting £60 for the job. That's more than a third of what it cost me to build the frame!

I hope I can find somewhere cheaper!

Does Hackney Bike Workshop have the kit for that?

I checked, they don't - however they have informed me that it's not necessary afer a respray.

I'm pretty sure brick lane bikes did BB and headset for something like £20

I wish it were that easy! I've built this frame from scratch at home and need the threads cleaning up after manufacture. I did think about trying to build something from an old BB but I really need a proper tap on this occasion.

Brick lane bikes would charge £60 for the three services, just like 2WheelsGood. Seems like this might be pretty standard...

Doesn't Colnago Costa have the tools?

I don't want to open a can of worms, but I wouldn't trust blb with a job like that.

How about super ted?

and post a pic! making your own frame sounds awesome - congrats!

My friend got his ST reamed at lock 7 in exchange for a spliff.

International currency of bicycle mechanics!

Kyle doesn't work there any more so I doubt it would fly.

seems pretty standard for London prices, have you seen the price of the tools to do these jobs? Scary.

i got quoted £160 by evans for this yesterday. Lol.

Tokyo Fixed did it for forty quid...

Proper tools and skills required for that job!

can do all that for you for 40 quid.....what size is the headtube??? what threading is BB shell, what size is seattube, also need a seatpost you are planning on using as every brand varies slighly in diameter so one seatpost may sit fine others may slip/be too tight

I checked, they don't - however they have informed me that it's not necessary afer a respray.
