So when @dsxro will pass everything to you just drop me PM ;)

Can i take them?

1 inch quill and risers can be chopped as im a narrow one :)

Something cheap and cheerful

Fair enough. Drop me a PM if it goes on sale ;)

Dont know man. Your stuff - your price. I'm a cheapskate - so trying to avoid insulting you ;)

"Everything on the bike is solid gold – from the frame to the chain to the chainrings to the spokes."
Like seriously. Whoever wrote that article doesnt have a clue of what they are doing. There is a big difference between solid gold frame and gold plated layer.

I could take stem/risers combo ;)

Last update before locking the conversation.
Filled the seattube and forks with penetrator. Left it for few days. Then went to vice.

Seatpost. Pretty straight forward. Clamped the seatpost and started to rock the frame. And the thing popped out.

Stem. Clamped forks in a vice as close to to headset as I could (brake hole). And started hammering the quill. Took quiet some time but when it started moving it was all good.

TLTR. Penetrator, vice and big ass hammer did the job.

@duncs, guy registered just to ask this question, give him a break.

@pdlouche Just in case, by any chance you remember who was that person?

Caustic soda is not an option for me, as I would melt myself :)

£1970 - that frame is from early 70's. Wait a second... Nevermind.

@|³|MA3K - Sending back is not really an option. I paid next to peanuts and it came with surprisingly good wheelset. Wheelset is worth what I paid for the whole lot. But then I got that idea maybe I could use the frame as the worst of the beaters :)

@BensBikeBits - unscrewed it, tapped it with a hammer, heard the bottom bit of the quill falling off. But no luck. And i can clearly see corrosion where stem meets fork.

@mjw1988 - fork lookin good, no signs of crash

Will try a penetrating oil bath and then attack it tomorrow with a monkey wrench :)

Long story short. Received a cheap fuji feather frame and then realized why its so damn cheap.

1) Wrong size seatpost hammered in. (Clearly can see/feel that seat tube is deformed)
Options:
a) hack saw out the old one and get same diameter new one.
b) cut the old one at the top and source smaller diameter quill seatpost.

2) stuck quill stem. Will try to remove it with coke/PlusGas/extra force but if those fail. Then cut off the stem and get a new forks. Did I missed any options?

In overall. I want something cheap to get from point A to B. Is it doible or should I call it a day, take the loss into account and toss the frame instead of flaming Current Projects?

I thought someone bumped my thread :) HERE you'll find what you are after ;)
maybe @Velocio could merge conversations?

People usually get serious dibs when they state a serious price. But thanks ;)

@ShadeBoyy

I can offer two cans of dibs for the gruppo and i will chuck in a packet or bracket's

@chris_gee time waisters will waist your time and there's nothing you can do about it. But you can close your own threads, on the right side panel, press "Go" next to "close" option ;)

@noBlakes lets go PM ;)

Im after Centaur or Chorus rear mech. Any colour will do.

@stig full story? Maybe just miscommunication?

Damn Stephen with his silly offers

Bloody foreigners, coming over here, turning their handlebars upside down.

I know this reference!
