Guys, really need your help with this.

Been given a lovely frame, although I don't think its of much value and I need to replace the bottom bracket (square tapered), however, the non-drive side cup has been mangled. It's not even round so the removal tool doesn't fit. Any advice would be greatly welcomed! I've added some photos which I hope will explain.

Take to your LBS. I've seen Seabass in Peckham weld a bar to fooked BB cups before and use that to remove them

Cheers mate – think it's going to need something drastic! Just googled Seabass – do you mean the ones by Peckham Rye or Peckham Road – Camberwell end?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
