Here's a quick progress report:
So this seatpost has 5mm thick walls!
Might be a bit tricky to roll up. It's certainly a bastard to get a hacksaw blade into.
My new plan is cut it like a karate chop across the diameter until it looks a load of chop sticks poking out of a bike (you can see where I kind of started in the last pic).. then bend the chopsticks in a bit with locking pliers.. and finally try and get a sharpened screwdriver in there between the post and the frame to chisel them out.
Any other ideas before I start?
