Well, an update of sorts, the frame has been stripped 95% and I dropped it off at the local shop to get the HS cups popped out (I found my crown race removal tool). While they are at it they will also remove a buggered right side Octalink crank bolt on my drive side Dura-Ace 7700 crank, that's an ugly story for another day though. First time in this particular bike's life (20 years) that it has seen a bike shop. Somehow I have a lot less bike tools than I once had - I guess some of them may have been lent to others and possibly not returned. I guess I don't qualify as a true mechanic anymore
