I asked in here a while back about a reasonable price for getting a square taper BB removed. I took the offending frame to my lbs, expecting a long wait and a steep price tag for getting the fully seized unit out. They've failed completely. Apparently the paint is gone around the BB area (I consented to this) from the heat applied.
My question is: what do I do now? Take it to a frame builder? I really want to keep the frame in a usable state. I don't know who built it but I know its light and has ovalised tubing so is of at least reasonable quality.
