Use a gash saddle frame, clamp in vice use frame to wiggle it off.
bit of wood stain and they'll be right asFound some nice wheels to go with the bike.

I like the drillium woodworm effect on the rims!
That's a proper handsome saddle...and fine fettle....that bike has been cared for.I can fully justify not going to the gym this evening ......

What a bastard. Never had this before - just didn't want to lift with the normal wiggle and out when it got going. Lot's of wet stuff, and firm taps with the long side of the hammer on the saddle clamp. I couldn't get a good swing initially but it started to lift which was a relief, eventually I could get better blows in a much better vertical manner but it never got easier to lift I did notice the seat post binder bolt was bent slightly.
Weird, but I'm very glad it's out.
Thinking the saddle may help date the bike. Two things embossed in the side, but can't make most of it out.
Rear badge is crystal clear. All the rivets have Pryma on them too - this wasn't a cheap saddle I reckon

Plusgas for the post.
9.5mm to attach the guards. Huh. I'm surprised they used such a common bolt size. A 9 3/8mm would have been more creative.
