dj-paul-c:
how easy would it be to get seat post out if its stuck inside the frame tube ?

the post is about 1.5--2" down from the top of the seat tube so wouldnt be able to get grips on it
any ideas how to get it out ??

cheers

It took me about 2 hours to put 3 cuts through a chro-mo seat post that was wedged in a good 4" into the seat tube. I used a hacksaw blade that I'd slotted into a piece of 3/4" x 7" dowel,for extra purchase. A lot of work/patience but my only option once I'd been down the vice/lubricant/heat gun route.
