well did the right thing taking the 'roller! frame back home. seat post is stuck the seller wasn't lying. have not tried anything yet. hopefully time to work on it next week. condition seems overall better irl that how it was pictured. colour is so sick. starting to feel the gas. some blue ano and lot of silver would be dreamy. fingers crossed for the seat post not being an absolute bitch

I had a stuck seat post inside my Palisades Trail.
Caustic soda solution will melt away the alu seatpost enough to free it, hopefully. It did with mine....
I can PM the routine I did if you want?

@coventry_eagle is the LUFGUSS resident seatpost removal wizard. He might have some tips!

What Josh said. Much easier on a flat bar bike. Always end up banging my head on the frame if I'm on drop bars!
