Just to let you know - my nightmare has officially ended. With a most
ingenious twist, said LEGENDARY LBS owner has extracted the post.

Now, I admit freely to buying stuff off ebay occasionally. However, in
this instance, words cannot describe the feeling of relief that I
experienced today when this guy took my problem on - and indeed made it
HIS problem. This experience has proved to me that, whatever kind of
bargain you think you're getting at auction, it compares NOUGHT to the
experience and assistance offered by an honest, professional bike
store.

Which, in my most recent adventure, was absolutely PRICELESS.

Thanks again Kerry. I wish you every success.

Come on then - how'd they do it? Saw vertically through
remaining post? Put post stump in vice and twist frame?
Wrap towel around frame and soak in hot water whilst
blocking post with something and filling with iced water?
If the post is a thin enough alloy, you could squash it and
fold it (kinda heart shaped x-section) to get it out.

To reply, you'll have to remove your finger.

I'd bet on soaking with the blood of a freshly killed virgin at
midnight in the centre of a pentagram, but bike shops
never admit to doing it even though it always works.
