Hi folks,

I'm looking for a shop recommendation for some "unusual" repair.  I'm
trying to take a bottom bracket out of a frame and the BB is truly,
totally stuck.  They couldn't get it out at Bike Connection (even
after soaking it overnight in solvent and pounding on the thing with a
hammer).  So I'm looking for bike repair places that can go a step
further--maybe even drill the thing out if necessary.  I'm thinking of
possibly dispensing with bike shops altogether and taking it to a
machine shop for heavy-duty treatment.

The bike is a Schwinn Woodlands.  I'm in Palo Alto/Menlo Park so shops
fairly close would be nice.

Thanks a lot,
Cecil
