There isn't a crown race on the fork is there?
There is a top race in the head tube, but no crown race. I can try to tap it out when I get a spare minute. In the mean time, here's another shot of the crown, plus a pic showing the underside of the seatstay bridge. It looks to have a hex nut brazed onto the bottom.
