Ive recently picked up a sunn exact ti (1997). the problem is that the seatpost is stuck in the frame, its an ameoba titanium post but it looks like the last owner has used an aluminium shim between them. he has tried forcing the seat tube open and made a bit of a hash of it and also snapped off the seatpost lever spindle in the frame. Ive tried wd40 and brute force, but no joy. with the frame and post being ti and an aluminium shim between them im worried that it has bonded to both parts. Any advice? Ill try and post some photos in a bit.

dont know if it works but its worth a try.if you have bottle bosses on the seat tube part of the frame
remove one of bolts and plug up the seat post in question,flip the bike over and fill with coca cola through the bolt hole.leave the bike upside down a couple of days.
like i say dont know if it works but its worth a try you never know
