OK... back to trying to get the alloy post out the carbon frame...
attempt 1. lots of GT85 around the collar, twisting from the saddle. nothing. FAIL
attempt 2. turn frame upside down and spritz about a third of a can of RP-90 into the seat tube. leave for an hour and a half. try to twist with the saddle. FAIL
attempt 3. pour another batch of RP-90 into the seat tube and leave over night. currently in progress, will report back
in the meantime, I've also ordered some finish line chill zone - in the anticipation that attempt 3 will fail and I'll have to try the thermal contraction method. I might try to find a jab saw and a big pipe wrench too (would 14" be big enough?) wish me luck
this is ostensibly my turbo bike now so not the end of the world if it doesn't come out but it's still a half decent frame (original 2005 focus cayo) so would be nice to be able to ride it outside now and again
