I am trying the smae thing with an 80's Peugeot frame. Can you tell me how you solved the BB problem exactly? I have measured the thread size in the frame and it is 26TPI (threads per inch). I believe standard British BB's are 24 TPI. IS this why you couldn't find one to fit? Did you end up with the threadless option. I thought this was gonna be easy! Good fun though.
