Thanks for all the suggestions so far folks. It doesnt look as though there's another seatpost stuck in there. I've tried wd40, grease & vaseline but with no luck. Also tried putting the post in the freezer & holding the frame above the hob with no luck  :(. It looks as though i'll either have to get the post polished down before i get it rechromed, or use a hand reamer. I've had a look for a reamer and they seem a bit expensive for what (i hope) is a one off job. Does anyone have one that I could borrow? I would have course cover any postage costs both ways. Hoping someone can help. Failing this, are there any more suggestions? Thanks all. Andy

On one frame I had, I took a normal electric hand drill and put on the largest drill bit I could find (16 or 18mm) and covered the drill bit with sandpaper and electrical tape .... gave it a quick internal sanding and the post went in after that .....
