You say the seatpost is stuck and the bolt for the stem wont move, do you think it will be a major operation to remove them...........interested in building a classic bike

I've been able to move the seat post a few degrees using a good whack on the old saddle with a hammer. I've poured lots of WD 40 in now and some lubricant after. The WD 40 and oil run in easily enough. It is very tight but I think some patient work could get it out. But I can't guarantee that of course - just my best thoughts on it.
The allen key slips in the draw bolt head (things have gotten a bit rounded off on the bolt) so that I cannot get a decent go at turning it. It may need drilling out or some other trickery beyond me. How stuck the whole thing is is unknown but IIRC it had copper slip applied when it went in. My guts say if you can get the bolt loose it'll come out but again there is no guarantee.
Hope that helps
