Yeah, thanks, good advice - heating the seatpost to break the bond was what I was going for here but very little post to grab hold of (result of previous rescue attempt of the 'cut and fold in on itself' method by bike shop) led to the mess I have created here! Cheers

I have a Surly 1x1 frame which I have been battling with for a long time over a stuck seat post.
Latest attempt (blowtorch, brute force and lashings of ignorance) has ended up with a borked frame now.
: (
I can't bear the idea of throwing the frame away without first at least trying to see if it could be reused - would anyone be interested in this frame to salvage the dropouts? I assume a keen framebuilder could get them out and braze into a new frame build, which could be an interesting project.
I thought this forum might be the most likely place to find a punter in such a niche market.
Yeah, Caustic Soda solution was the next option I was going to try after blowtorch - if only I hadn't made such a mess of it.....
