Specialized Rockhopper

[The_Big_Commute]

I bought this second hand knowing the seatpost is stuck and thought I might try to get it to move. It won't, so I'm looking for a home for this one (possibly someone with a blowtorch)

It's got nearly new Kenda small block Eights and the wheels have been trued. Gears are ok , there's no front mech and the brakes are mismatched. Not selling it very well ! But trying to be honest.

Plus - nice colour (re sprayed by previous owner) Fine for a rider 5'6 at current seatpost height.

40 quid ?

Cheers

I saw last time I researched - on here I think a way of freeing teh seat post, and I think it was using a freeze spray like this, a plumbing equivalent was available at Screwfix etc. HTH

Great. It's worth having a go. Mine are back burner frames but I'm keen to have a go now!

I have heard there's a place that does it with heat induction using an element. Never seen it done but the theory is sound
