looks like your welder has done a grand job, but for future, can't recommend enough giving the caustic soda treatment a go on alloy seatposts in steel frames. with a little care, can avoid any damage to paintwork, let alone frame.
there is also a really nice peugeot slx frame for sale in another post for £20 because seattube was a bit mangled by trying to get out a stuck seatpost. sad to see as can be often be avoided relatively easily...
good luck with the sale

thanks, done quite a few post in my time, have a look at this

I avoided soda as I thought t would inflict too much damage on the paint work, was practically done clean
until the dremel slipped
( -
wow. that master is a seriously solid effort and bad luck on the dremel!
with the soda, if the paint is in ok condition to start with, a layer of electrical tape around the top of the seat tube and stays seems to do a pretty good job protecting. then having the frame upside down and plugging the top of the seat tube. i'm nowhere near brave enough to pull out the power tools!
