1) The seatpost was indeed well stuck. I got it moving but couldn't get it out so I chopped the top of the seatpost off with the intention of hacksawing it out a la Sheldon Brown. This is a far as I got with this.
2) The seat tube has two small cracks at the bottom of the slit that clamps the seatpost. This may have been caused or aggravated by me trying to free the post. They do not look terminal to me.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
