Hey man. Was looking on their website today actually and the three frames up there have 26.8 seat posts. If that's the bmx sizing, go for a pivotal, and slam the thing.

Whatever you do don't get the .243 post they are shite. The heads break very easily, there are a few brands that do the 26.8mm posts because most of the pivotal seats are really wide making it hard to get over the back of em.

Ha, Matt's tank arms, yeah right! Just kidding, he is the equivilant of a breaker bar in handiness of getting hard to undo shit undone.

All I can say is WD40, and try heating up the seat tube a bit because it (in theory) should expand and the post slide out a bit easier, with the WD40. So I take it you got your new frame/bike? Epic win.

lawl .

So you haven't got it out yet?

I was thinking it would be funny to get a car, attach a rope to it, tie it to the bottom bracket shell, then get another car on the other side of the bike and lace a rope through the hole in the seatpost that the guy drilled and have both cars accelerate really hard. Either the seatpost will come out, or the weld at the top of the chainstay which joins the seat tube to the chainstay and top tube might snap. Either way it is a decent result.
