Thanks sbd for giving me a buzz and some pointers. Lost a bit of paint of the top , luckily cups will cover that but masked the front and used a round bar.

well done jay, like i said on the phone, i hate to see this and some couriers dont give a fcuk, just take your time and once its nearly at the right shape let the bearing cups do the
rest, a lot of work went into your frame set and to see it crushed like that really makes me mad, :daumenhoch:

Must admit i did sulk for a bit.. Going to go back to it tomorrow , like you said dont rush it. Colour is awesome
Bud , cracking job :4_17_5:

My grandad said, 2 things come from rushing; broken finger nails and unwanted children. :LolLolLolLol:
Slow and steady wins the race then grandad :daumenhoch:

The bearing will reform that lovely.
I did it the same way to a euro bottom bracket in the past and it really does work.

It has to be a very large Bearing ball then :shocked: were do you find them ;)
