I'm thinking it's not been threaded yet rather than some new press fit standard?
If so... Will my lbs be able to tap it?

Push fit? What bike is it?

I thought that at first, but it's only ~33.7mm inner diameter. From what I've read I'd be looking at 41mm for press fit.

It's a London Road frame

EBay perchance? P-X known to dump their rejects on an unsuspecting public on there.

I would talk to a frame builder rather than an LBS as you need to cut a new thread rather than just chase-out an existing one. Getting-it lined-up square is absolutely essential.

The taps most LBS have will be for clearing existing threads, not cutting from scratch.I'd send it back as faulty.
