More bad news- the pedal is seized too I think. Any ideas?

i recently removed a very stuck seatpost by putting a junk saddle on it and bashing it with a mallet. it took a while but worked.

for the pedal, go down to the hardware store and pick up a sturdy piece of steel pipe that will fit over the handle of whatever wrench you're using to remove the pedal. use it as extra leverage. probably best to tell the hardware store what you're using it for so you get the right sort of pipe.

It's hard to see what material your seatpost is made from but I suspect it is aluminium alloy. If it is aluminium electrolysis could have happened between the seatpost and the steel frame. The seatpost may have bonded with the frame. To help break the bond, ammonia could be used to soak the bonded area. You will need to put the seatpost in a bench vice and try to move the frame back and forth to break the bond as well as ease the frame from the seatpost. This may damage the post. Lack of grease between the post and the frame is probably the cause.

Another cause of the stuck seatpost problem may be that the seatpost is the wrong size (a little too big) and the previous owner forced the post into the frame. Again, you might have to put the seatpost into a bench vice and try to move the frame back and forth and some how wiggle the post from the frame. Lubricant may help.

I had a stuck handlebar stem that I worked on every now and then over a period of about half a year before I could get it out of a frame.

As for the pedal axle stuck in the crank arm; I would guess that the axle was assembled without grease on the thread and the thread has begun to strip from the crank arm. If you can get the pedal axle out of the arm you will probably find that the thread is stripped. The thread could be replaced by a 'helicoil'. If the pedals are suitable, you may consider leaving them in the crank arms and ignoring the problem.

Others may have other solutions.

since you are going to take my advice and have the dropout replaced (amirite?), you can have the framebuilder heat up the frame at the seatpost and the post will come right out.

UPDATEEEEEEEEEE:
Bike is powdercoated and built. Here's pictures and specs https://velospace.org/node/21452
thanks for all the advice with the drop out, I ended up just bending it back cold.

Just wanted to say that looks AMAZING, makes me jealous. It's almost too pretty to ride though, that's why all my bikes have paint scratches so I may enjoy them on the road Actually, mine are just old beaters .

Simply amazing looking!

ha, thanks- that's nice to hear. I plan on riding it a lot though, no matter how pretty it is. I might actually race it. Who knows!

Well done, it looks much better now.

Hi Mustard pants,

Thanks for the update photos - looks like a bike you can truely be proud of.

I had not seen the thread when it was started. Good ending story! Nice to see a beat-up frame given a new life.

PS. how did you take the seat post out?

Ha, I won't believe it unless I see some action shots! I'd be so nervous on that bike, which incidentally looks to be my size, so if you ever get tired of it I'll be here waiting! Also, where did you get the decals from? Did you just have them made over the internet or...?

Thanks! We heated up the seat post and tube with a propane torch, added a bunch of liquid grease, and yanked it out with a monkey wrench. The post is trash now.

I think it's like a 54/55cm. All my bikes are for sale....for the right price. Feel free to make me an offer if you seriously want it
