It is a shame to assume that the frame is a toss out now without having someone with experience take a look. There's a chance that a simple chasing of the BB threads and careful install (of a new BB) with LockTite might be all that needed to get a bunch more years of use. Here in the States chasing a BB might run $25 to $40 on a frame that has had the BB already removed. I've used various LockTite grades on BBs for years with pretty good results. It all depends on how bad any BB thread damage is really there and if there's not enough material to work with.
I would hope that there's a skilled and motivated shop near by that can assess this frame and give far better insight that we can so far away. Andy
