I managed to completely destroy my 15 yr old Bareknuckle when trying to remove a seized aluminum seatpost. After a week of trying everything I could to loosen it up, I had one too many bourbons and took a Reciprocating Saw to the inside of the seat tube. Needless to say, I now have a slit in the tubing and have damaged the integrity of the seat post clamp entirely. With demand for these now discontinued bikes being the way it is, should I attempt selling it as is to someone (and if so what do you think a proper price would be), or take it to a frame builder to weld or replace the seat tube?
