Have managed to remove the forks but not any of the bearing cups. Amazingly the bike had the original headset still fitted (and maybe testament to the fact that it aint gonna budge!).
Was planning on tapping out the cups in the headtube with a long screwdriver but I don't have one long enough. My fault for being so tall and needing a large frame I guess!
Also, the cup on the forks will need removing for powder coating but I can't budge this. Not sure if this is going to comply though.
There is a really good cycle co-op in Oxford ( http://www.bsbcoop.org ) who have open workshop sessions so I may have to pay them a visit next weekend to sort out this and the BB cup problems.
