Have you heard about Ciclo Urbano (formerly West Town Bikes)?
You should check out this place, if you haven't already: Ciclo Urbano

The BB is no big deal. You'll be surprised at how simple it is. You just thread it in then tighten with the correct tool.

The headset is a bit trickier. Bike shops use a very expensive headset press to install the cups. However, you can make one for about $12. Here's a link. http://www.mindspring.com/~d.g1/headset.html I used this myself and it worked perfectly.

Great looking bike! I am curious, did you build your own head set press or did you go to WTB?
