Vent: The week we had three vintage Italian bikes with seized seatposts in a row

I mean, we went through a whole can of penetrating oil and a lot of patience, but the third one finally came free with a gentle heat gun application. Anyone have a go-to method for those old steel-on-steel posts?

Sounds like a real good time. At least you didn't have to break out the torch.

Torch is the first tool I grab, @norag55.
