Stripped down Batavus champion frameset with partially headset and stuck bottom bracket was rebuild with leftover parts from other bikes. The frame was probably lying around for ages before it was gifted to me, lock nut from headset was missing, the originally bottom bracket was stuck, fork, seat- and chainstays was oversprayed with black paint from rattle can. The removal of the stuck bottom bracket required all measures from heating to welding to be successful. A large amount of penetrating oil was used and a lot of tools were ruined in this removal attempts. Could not find any reliable info about the seatpost diameter (probably 25,8 or 26,0 mm).
