Great, now my story begins.
You know I'm going to the USA right?
And that I wanted to take my bike?
And that I have a bike box?
Well, I need to remove the seat post to get the bike into the bike box. And yup, you guessed it... it's seized up.
So much so that I've taken it to Cyclefit to have a look, and they've claimed to have used "every non-intrusive method" that they know of. And the damn thing isn't moving.
FUCK!
Now I have no bike to take to the USA as I'm not taking the Serotta.
Big question though... what's the best way to unseize a seat post? It's alright at the top, it's down the bottom it's stuck.
And to make things worse, it's 853 steel and a Thomson Elite post.
