Money!

I GOT IT!

After injecting the post with ammonia via a syringe from the campus nurse, I threw it up on a vise and twisted the frame off the post. The guy at Evergreen Bike Shop in East Lansing let me use his vise, and we were able to drop it in about ten min.

I figure the old owner dropped on a 27.0 when the shaft looks like a 26.8. The shaft was all brown with rust, and there was a pile of it underneath the bike when we schwacked it with a rubber mallet. I picked up a nice post and an in the market for a more comfortable seat, but otherwise, I'm back in business.

Thanks for all the advice.
