Hi Chaps,

Is there an easy way of getting the thing out?

In his infinite wisdom, the previous owner hack sawed it off, so there's nothing to reallt grab onto, or leverage...

The projects are coming on thick and fast, need to update the Avatar :)

Cheers

Mark
 
What about using a headset tool and a hammer, it worked for me once before. I am talking about the tool that is like a piece of pipe cut across twice so that you have 4 parts pushing against all of the edges.
 
get a hacksaw that holds the blade at one end only, then "carefully" saw down the tube... "CAREFULLY" . when you are throught the seatpost use a set of plyers to crush the tube in on its self and pull out. ;)
