adammannering:
Goes in I say a couple of inches then it just stops man ! It stops !

Have tried wd40 but the frame starts getting HOT - not good

What is correct size seatpost for a gen 1 ?

Many thanks chaps

griff:
hot? what are you doing to it?

is it rusty inside or thick paint?

Dannywhac:
You chaecked for weld blobs/shrinkage inside the seattube where that plate that goes around the seattube? Maybe the frames been repaired and the tubes been 'knocked in' a bit by the reweld?

Also you should use grease not WD40 on seattubes. WD40 sucks the balls etc unless you're using it for a bit of cleaning - as it's not a lubricant.

chubby:
Is the remains of an old post in there still  :chin:
