Had a day last Tuesday where every single bike came in with seized seatposts
I pulled 4 stuck posts out of old steel frames in one shift, and the last one was a Campagnolo Record post from the 80s that I thought was gonna snap. What's your go to trick for getting these out without trashing the frame?

The cola trick actually WORKED on a stuck Falcon post I had.

So have you tried the old trick of pouring Coca Cola down the seat tube? I know it sounds crazy but the acid actually eats away at the corrosion after a day or two. I used to do that on stubborn posts but the real key is getting a pipe wrench on there once the cola has had time to work. Heat helps too if you can get a torch on the frame without burning the paint. Just be ready for the post to twist clean off if the frame is really thin.
