Has anybody ever removed the pace rc300 carbon seat tube from the frame?

Thanks

Re:

I've always liked that frame. Why would you want to remove it?

Re:

I was considering getting it stripped and reanodised but would need to remove the seat tube.

Re:

You would need a composites expert to bond it back properly to the right adhesive gap and trying to remove it could wreck or potentially damage it. Don't let anyone tell you differently! PS I'm a composites engineer!

Could it be securely wrapped and padded inside and out to protect it in situ during the processes?

You really don't want to immerse carbon fibre in acid and run a current through it!
