The clamp is missing (as per description) and the black seat tube is dented. The seat tube is the blue part, and black part all the way up. Seatpost is the silver part top 1/3, relatively long inside the black tube, and is held in place in the black seat tube by the pressure of the dents in it. This is the main bad point about the frame. As I said, ream it out and pop a clamp on, or ride as-is like I have for a year.
I believe the black tube may have been a seat post or some previous owner’s attempt at something. Either way it is cold set in place and I never had the desire to cut it off or out, as it provided a nice strong tube for my seatpost.

Stupid question: where does the seat tube end and the seatpost begin? Struggling to see a clamp at either of the obvious junctures.
Edit: Is there a clamp at the top of the black tube?
