I had the same problem on a raleigh frame (maybe not quite as bad!) i managed to get it in, but was really really tough. Took it to Blb and they chased the threads which didnt make any difference!
Got the frame powder coated the other week and the cups screw in by hand now....

I had same problem on rear hub.
I bought new cartridge bearings off the internet, removed old ones (which were fucked) put in new ones adjusted nuts and its perfect now.
