I wasn't even considering hardware-store epoxy, http://www.systemthree.com/reslibrary/tds/T-88_TDS.pdf been thinking about this one, any clue how the 3m ones would compare in terms of cured strength?
As for the disassembling, i've found the originally used resins are thermoplastic, so just giving it a go with a heat gun should suffice. As for the Jig, i need to get a hold of one, might contact one local framebuilder if I use it.
The bike shop in LA wrote back, so basically i I can't swap the top tube with a seattube, so I'm probably going to have to settle with the internal routing, might file the extruding parts down and install upside down to be less visible, but It's a bit early to think about it.
Also, thanks for all the feedback and support.
