Thanks for the replies.
I tried that number but it was a friday and Barry wasn't around. Ile try it again soon.

* You're right about the integrated headset not needing to be faced. It may have to be reamed though (so that the cups for the 1 1/8" headset will press into the adapter ring without too much force.) Regarding the bottom bracket, I've read that it's essential to have it faced, esp. if you are installing a bottom bracket with oversize external bearings (such as in the raceface x-type or the Shimano Hollowtech II). Cleaning of the threads prob isn't essential but the Park facing tool does both jobs at the same time anyway...
