Chase/Face the BB?

For my new Kilo I'm curious if it's recommended to have the LBS face the BB.

The threads look pretty clear of paint so I don't think I need to chase the BB.

Do you recommend facing the BB shell on these steel Taiwanese frames?

If you're installing a cartridge bb then it isn't really needed unless it's REALLY ****ed up. If you're installing a track bb like the sugino 75's, get it faced.

Think about how a cartridge bb works and why it wouldn't really matter if it was faced or not vs cup & cone
