I don't own a digital camera, so it may be difficult for me to get a picture posted - but I'll see what I can do.

I've discovered a problem that may convince me to put this frame back in the trash where I found it though: The aluminum seat post is absolutely fused into the steel seat tube! I've got no idea how to free it - and it seems like an extra long seat post too. I peered down the tube with a flashlight and can't see the end of the seat post. I've heard warnings about dissimilar metals in intimate contact - I guess this is what happens. Perhaps if I cool things down, the aluminum will contract more than the steel allowing me to pull things apart? If I wait a couple of months, the outdoor temperature here should be sub-zero, maybe I can get things apart then.
