Just wanted to share my battle with rusted bottom bracket, it was seized for good, but after 2 hours of drilling managed to get it out in pieces, with only minimal threads damage. After all retapped and milled BB shell, and its usable again! Remember guys don't lose your hope 😀

That must have been tough!!!
By photos 1 and 2 I was looking on eBay/marketplace for a new frame.
Bloody good effort that 👍🏻
I know what you just went through 😅

I’ve been there before my friend. Congrats on winning that battle.
This is the exact method I used to remove a stuck bb before.
3-4 transformation of the threads is unexpected.
Congrats on winning that battle!
How much extra anti-seize did you use when reassembling? I be lotta. Nice work!
wow i cannot believe you got that out of there and salvaged the bike
