| The seat is torn in several places (looks like mostly from crash damage) |
 |
| The clamping hardware has some pretty heavy aluminum corrosion. Also, the seat post is pushed way down into the seat post. |
 |
| Removed the seat post bolt. The seat post is very tight in the seat post & will not come out with normal hand power. Used a plastic dead-blow hammer to gently tap the post out. Used many small hits (low power) to very slowly bring the post out. It took about 5 minutes but it came out without any damage. |
 |
| The seat tube is wet with some sort of dirty oil. I'm guessing someone had to use oil to install the seat post because it's so tight. I wonder if the seat post is too large for the seat tube... |
 |
| This bike has many places with Colnago cloverleaf and other identifying features, like at the top of the seat stays... |
 |
| There was a lot of black grease/dirt at the seat post clamp bolt area |
