I have an Argos Frame in need of a good home.
The Seatpost is stuck and has been sawn. It extends about 20cm into the frame.
The guy before me told me the steel is Reynolds 853. I can't confirm this, but it is certainly pretty light.
Frame measures 53cm seat tube, 54cm top tube.
Condition is generally good, a few nicks here and there and some bubbling under one of the Argos logos but no dents.
£50 collected in W4.

Is that a carbon or aluminium post?

Well it certainly feels and looks carbon. However, it's pretty well stuck so I feel as though it's perhaps aluminium (or a combination?) and has fused rather than is stuck mechanically. If that makes sense...

Formatting Help

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:

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

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
