Did you get the seatpost out of the MBK?

Not yet. I bolted the vice to the table and it works a charm for direct clamping, but it just seems the side to side wrenching caused by twisting the frame with the post clamped isnt what a vice is best at. There is quite a lot of room for the jaws to slide from side to side, if that makes sense..

I think next step is using a reciprocating saw down into the post, and chiseling it out bit by bit

I got two frames steel frames with stuck alu posts in it, so we're in the same boat. The vice didn't work for me either. There's the caustic soda trick as well, but I'm not sure, I'm brave enough :-)

What's a reciprocating saw called in Danish?
