New Frame prep

Hi,

I've just ordered an new Surly Long Haul Trucker bare frame. I have asked the LBS to install the headset and bottom bracket and to apply frame saver; I expect to be able to do the remainder of dressing the frame (breaks, fenders, handlebars etc, etc, etc. Are there any other things that I need to ask the LBS to do that are hard to do or need special tools before I pick up the bike? Something to do to the Dropouts or frame eyelet mounts; tapping threads for example ? All input appreciated.

Jack
