27.2 seat post diameter.
I wear a 32 inseam pant, but I know that isn’t an accurate way to measure. I can measure the standover if you’d like.

Sweet bike! I absolutely loved mine. Used the same geometry to order a custom HT frame once the N9 cracked. Perfect SS for a lighter guy. GLWTS.

1. Take to LBS.
2. Pay them to un-stick seatpost.
3. Pay them to check spoke tensions and assess how bad the dent is in the rear wheel.
4. Re-list at same price.

^^^ Meh. Depending on the shop, that's $100+ worth of work. Not really worth it for a $650 bike, especially when any decent home mechanic could likely address those issues without too much trouble.
Issues were disclosed. Price seems reasonable all things considered.

id try to get the post out. How much is inserted? If someone makes a go at cutting it out and fails, frame is toast. Or it could come out with some penetrating oil and a vice.
Had a seatpost extracted on a steel frame and it was about 150$, but it had a lot of seatpost in the tube and tubing wasn’t tapered, making it harder. Builder needed to weld together saw blades to get one long enough to cut.

penetrating oil + heating pad on the seat tube/compressed air inside the seatpost
rent a slide hammer from the local auto parts store and pop her out.

I put some effort into it this morning with no luck. Using a torch to apply heat. I don’t have an air compressor.
Im open to offers. Im preparing to move across the country soon and it has to go.

Consignment shop. Wish I could buy it but might be worth $300 in parts at this point.

May I ask why you're selling? I love mine! Although I got mine before their experiment with 27.2 seat tubes.
No longer stuck.

Im currently in upstate NY. Its a 2013. The brake pads are original and still have life left to give an idea of how much it was used.
Im selling because I got bored and impulse bought a 27.5+ hardtail that I want to build a single speed 29er wheel set for. And I may be moving soon.
