Not much to report. The Cimarron has a free stem, and a stuck seatpost. I really wanted to save the seatpost, so I've been using penetrating spray on the outside, and on the inside through one of the water bottle cage holes. Then I would use the heat gun, heat that sucker up, then twist using the front triangle with wood blocks holding the post.
Post bit the dust tonight. It is an XC Pro posts with the 2-piece construction, and the top head broke loose today, which means post is junk. Too bad, was a nice post.
Well...I tried! Out will come the lye!
