Was it JAX that gave you the $$$ quote.
Yup! It was sort of funny, I told the guy I thought it was pretty steep and that I'd do it myself. I told him that I do everything myself including building the wheels but that the only tool I didn't have was the BB tool to remove the crank. He asked, "what shop do you work at?". Told him I just do it at home cause it's cheaper to maintain my bikes.

Then he said, " well, if you bring in the stripped frame, we can always just pop the crank off and onto the new frame for you". Sounds cool either way but I won't mind spending a few bucks for the tool.
