I recently picked up a bike for my partner and unfortunately it arrived with a seized seatpost. It is an aluminium post in an aluminium frame. It is possible to rotate the seatpost round using the saddle for leverage but impossible to get the post to move upwards at all. So far I have been soaking it in WD40, as I am under the impression that plus gas won't work if it is alloy on alloy... would coke make any difference? Is there currently a seat post seize expert on this forum able to help?
