I looked on the BB and there is 2 small holes down there. Im not sure if they are rivet holes or not. I will post a pic, I'm not sure if you can see it clearly or not, my photog skills are not the best. Also, you can see some of the rougher places on the bike and some places that still need more degreaser. (I think my first pics made it look alot nicer then it is) I dont think Im ready to remove components and individually clean them. And you can see the crushed chainstays from the kickstand that was on there

I had a mechanic look at it when I got the headset replaced and he said it was safe to ride on it just looks bad.
Anyways, heres the pic
