Any metallurgists out there!?! My Campy record Titanium seatpost has
appeared to "weld" itself to the seatpost on my aluminum Bianchi.
No....there wasn't any bronze-colored anti-seize compound applied ( I
have it for bolts/BB's, just never thought to put it on the seat post),
just some grease which apparently dried up over 3-4 years without the
post being moved.
Any good ideas on how I might free the post and salvage the frame? Could
care less about the post. I've had a friend hold the bike while I work
the saddle really hard, but nothing moved at all except the bones in my
hands! Heat, cold, liquid compounds, Goof off?
Thanks in advance for any useful suggestions....
