Called lbs today to see if they'd face the bb of Crosscheck. Only 1 man in so they asked if I could leave it overnight (it's a bit of a pain to get to). Called second lbs and asked them to do it, they said they don't do steel frames as it wears the tool, and that a steel frame doesn't need doing as it's thinner material. So is the first willing to do un-necessary work or is the second talking rubbish? I'm ok for now as it's an old bb of my old frame and will need replacing soon enough anyway.
