Batavus Professional 56.5 x 56.5 w/ seatpost issue

Batavus Professional frame / forks *

I bought in 2013 from an old postie building bikes with his retirement.

pearl and blue
I think 1984
56.5 x 56.5 (stamped 58 on bb)
Columbus SL tubing i think, decal is worn, across the web many claim different types.
Piet Nizet decals..
Stronglight headset (i bought new around 4 years ago) one replacement sealed bearing included

• Unfortunately 😓 this has a seized seatpost. I’ve tried everything, but the caustic soda method (the paint😖). I’ve even taken it to this guy (https://www.stirlingbikedoctor.co.uk/seized-seatpost-removal/) who couldn’t do it on his machine, but says it should come out manually sawing. The price i think reflects the cost minus what he quotes for manual removal (£90)
  
  

So if you feel like having a go removing it yourself, or just riding it as is - i’ll include a replacement 27mm seatpost.

Let me know if you want to know anything else.

Based in Glasgow, happy to post, happy to meet

£240

what's the rear dropout width & approximate "stuck" length from bb axle to saddle rails on the seatpost
Ta

240 for a frame with a stuck seat post!

sorry josh, the price includes sentimental value, which i'm happy to depreciate.

the rear dropout is 130mm and the approx length from bb to the rails is 745mm

That age of frame should have been 126 or 120 mm dropouts---
it's been spread to 130 so given the issues I'm out...

no probs, yeh i thought the same, when i got it, but have ridden 130 wheels no probs.
