I got a frame from a very confused friend that is a 27.0 seat post size, and there is a 27.2 THOMSON seat post in it. It's stuck in at least 4-5".

Is there a way to salvage either the frame or seat post....or both? I'm still flustered at how some kind of man would manage that.

And YES. I'm sure it's a 27.2 in a 27.0. I have the specs on the bike and the numbers on the seat post confirmed that it was a 27.2. (along with my micrometer)

I'm guessing a propane torch or something to the like.

Edit: and I'm upset that it's a thomson and not a no name post.
