Free to a good home Orange clockwork content.

Hi guys. I have a 1993 orange clockwork frame that had a seatpost well and truly siezed in. To the point where all attempts to shift it have failed.

So far it has been through:
vice & twist/pull action.
hole through post, lever inserted twisted & pulled.
Caustic soda
heated seat tube/freezer sprayed internal of post.
I have started to cut down through the post, but after using up the best part of a sunny bank holiday I have given up!

The frame itself is in good sound condition. it had a decent quality respray (dark blue.) but will need a new one following the heat/cool post removal process.

I believe argos can shift stuck posts for £15, and im sure a continued attempt with a saw blade would see results. However I need to clear some space and I have had enough of fighting this battle.

The frame is a small 16" and i'd like to think some one can get it fettled.

Collection from Leeds or Oxford can be arranged.

If it doesnt find a home, its to the tip with it

Would you consider postage if i cover the costs? My prestige has been declared rotten so i'd like another Orange challenge . If not know probs.

I'd prefer not to, the frame resides at my folks place in Leeds, I spend most my time in Oxford/London these days so would prefer to not have to hassle my parents to go bike box hunting.

Likewise, I am due to be moving house next month and would prefer to not have to do the same, working in London means the only time I can get to a post office is on a saturday morning, and I need to be spending my weekends looking for a new flat.

Yours for the taking, pm on way!

Because you need another Orange Mark! At least you're getting a bigger house...

If the other guy passes I will take it, can collect from Oxford as I am in High Wycombe, or even London but only until Friday this week!

Sorry, it has provisionally found a new home. Due to be collected from Leeds in a couple of weeks, If it falls through i'll offer it again to the others who have replied/messaged me.
