FORDSVTPARTS said if the BB races aren't too bad you can probably re-use the BB. The same might go for the hubs. It depends on why you think they are toast. If they are just cruddy and the grease is dried, maybe the races will clean up okay. If they are pitted then probably not. But chuck them unless you are sure they aren't salvageable.

Nice bike. Should be a good rider.
