Sawn off seat post removal...

[velomentary]

Hello - if a bicycle still has the remains of a seatpost within the tube but has been sawn off at the seat clamp is that a waste of time ? Spotted a nice bike but pics look like the seatpost is still in the tube with nothing to grasp.

Sliding closer to an e-bike and not dealing with these problems

Thanks

It's doable with a hacksaw blade and a chisel, but you're right, it's a PITA.

If the frames steel and the post ally, caustic soda is your friend and it's good wholesome science fun.

Thanks folks. Feel like I want to have a go more for the success of it being removed

Possible to drill out, I did this with a gt BMX 25.4 post. Just got a 1" blacksmiths drill and drilled it out little bit at a time.
