Another Saracen Kili Team 97/8

Will take my time 👍
But with all that I have ongoing I would be happy to sell on as a great project if someone with more impetus wants the challenge.
But failing that I’ll percevere …..
 
The frame is so lovely that the post HAS to be removed, even if by a machine shop! Can surely be reamed out as a last resort?
 
Boom!!!!!!

Seatpost removed!!!!

That was satisfying!

How?
Plus Gas sprayed at the clamp and also in through the bottle cage bolt whilst bike sat upside down for 10 minutes…

Removed saddle and clamped down a metal breaker rod I’ve had in garage for years.

Wife help front bars with brakes applied as I turned the rod.

Took a bit of brute strength, plenty of Plus Gas applications when it started to turn and used a hammer to tap the bar up and shock it free once it was fully turning…

The missus wants me to say I couldn’t have done it without her 😎

Fair comment…

Mega chuffed.
Let’s get renovating 👍😎😎
