Thanks! Stock IRO seatpost right now. I don't know if I can use a pedal wrench on the eggbeater - everything but the spindle spins, and the spindle is round - it's allen key or not, it seems. I did get a bunch of leverage on it, and due to my rushedness, I think I may've tightened the darn side up first, as the right/drive side pedal came out nice and easy. Doesn't help my 8mm wrench is now a bit effed up, so I should get a fresh good quality tool and try again.. not in any major rush.
I'm waiting to tape the bars, as I want the brake lever mounted/positioned, etc. first.
