Dawes The Edge/ Pace RC31 restomod build

Shame it’s not 27.2 but will definitely give the seat tube a clean first.

Can’t help you with the bottom bracket removal woes, but the frame is looking ace with the pace forks! I had my eye on that frame at auction - just a little small for me, but stunning.

In case you wanted to go more old school with the forks - here’s a pair of Dawes Geomax forks for sale: https://www.facebook.com/share/19wZ2v3tkA/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Thank you. It is rather nice. Excited to get it built up. Hopefully it will be a good fit for me. I’m 5 7”.

Thanks. They look great. I was searching everywhere the other week for geomax forks. Would definitely get those if I was closer to Norwich or if the seller offered a postage option

Could always do a shout out on here for someone local to post them for you? I’m sure you’d find someone to help out.

Well it’s definitely got me thinking. I may contact the seller and see if they can be persuaded to post or use a courier service.
The problem with bikes is I was originally actually trying to get rid of bikes and parts but I’m just collecting more stuff
I’m sure that’s a story that’s been told before

I don't think those park pins are fat enough for a good fit - and when the OP used a pin spanner, the cup was failing before enough Torque had been applied to break the bond.
It's going to need an accurate and sturdy 4pin extractor.

Ah I skipped past the critical post! By the looks of it you did everything possible with a 2 pin tool.
