As good a job as could be expected.
The burrs could be tidied with some emery cloth, wang the clamp on, and no one would ever know.

It’s by no means a tidy job but other than burred and misshapen it’s not that bad, don’t forget the slot was already there they haven’t cut the frame.
I can’t imagine it’s gonna get thousands of miles on it anyway, when he gets bored I’ll buy it for £20 as a turbo bike

Or a carbon-look sticker.nothing a seat post clamp can't hide.
I removed one earlier this year from a cheap Specialized Allez I bought off gumtree. I drilled a hole though the seat post and stuck a steel rod through it. I then walloped the seat post with a lump hammer and block of wood, the rod stopped it slipping down too far, once I released it I managed to twist it out with another tube over the top of the rod for leverage.
The frame was completely undamaged.

I managed to remove another this evening for a friend of mine. He’d bought a cheap Peugeot with a 531 frame but the ally seat post was completely stuck.
We removed both wheels, removed the seat, put the post in my vice and used the bike frame as leverage and out it popped. He’d spent hours trying to get it out.

Lad at work took his carbon MTB frame to 'theseatpostman' to get a stuck dropper post out. Worth the money for an expensive frame.
