Well, I removed the old race with what I think is an inadequate tool. One of those bearing separator-like "crown race removers" like Icetooz offers, because I had it. It worked ok but I marred the old race a bit so have decided not to use it again. I'll try assembling it and trying to look with a straight edge, etc.

As far as taking it to a LBS, P. Pounder, uh .... not sure how to put this but, I don't trust the young turks at my LBS any farther than I can throw them. I would never take a vintage bike there for any reason. That kind of place ...you know. But thanks.

I guess I've got to get that new race off there and re-cjeck everything.
