I got the bottom bracket tool to install the Miche BB, and with plenty of grease they went in, but there was resistance. I am sure it could have used a chase, but it worked out well enough. It did peel up some of the paint, but i think all is well with it.

I just lucked out and won a park crown race setter and cup press on ebay, both sold locally, so no shipping! Should pay for itself in about 3 or 4 headsets. Cannot wait to give them a try soon. Now just have to worry about cutting the fork straight and getting my stem in the mail. so no winners for slowest build can be awarded yet.
