Just order this interesting Grandis Verona: Columbus Off Road, full shimano XT M735, FIR wheels, cromovelato....but seized seatpost! Cross my fingers!

Very interesting, never seen a Grandis MTB before.

Grandis are a very underrated make of bike . Road and mountain bike using their own design of lugs . Fingers crossed for the seat post removal , patience is the key . I had a Tommasini Monte amiata with a stuck seat post . I poured pure ammonia ( use all the health and safety gear } from the bottom bracket shell down the seat tube and left it a couple of weeks , the seat post came out .

Agreed, underrated maker. I had an early Superleggera many years ago, and it was a superb frame.

The stucked seatpost is a huge pain in the.....
Soaked in WD40, forced with a scredriver and nothing.

Stunning. Good luck with seatpost!

Good news: I receive a message from Grandis: „we hereby confirm yours is an original Grandis MTB “Racing Team” 100% made by our hands here in Verona, around the ‘90s”!
Grandis send me one video with their most important bike, and at 0.72-1.45 is my model, but in red.

Bad news: seatpost stil stuck....

Cool, glad you heard back from the source. And don't give up on the post, I just spent many hours getting rid of a stuck stem.
