I'm thinking that frame geometry may have changed just a
little.

Not to mention a whole lot of stressed welds!!!!

Does this mean I need to go out and buy a pickup to make my
toolbox complete?

Sheesh!

I don't want to be a kill joy but depending on the type
of rope somebody could get seriously maimed.
Polypropylene or nylon rope will stretch and absorb
energy so if the post came out suddenly or something gave
way, it could whip a part at whoever is operating the come-
along. Dacron and kevlar rope have very little stretch
and therefore would be safer.

Just my warning before anyone tries this at home.

I got a stuck seatpost out a few years ago with a major
amount of liquid wrench and also by slowly imploding it
with a long punch. Punching it inwards a piece at a time
kept the frame tube from getting damaged in the process.
Punching was difficult once I got inside the frame tube,
but patience paid off. Eventually what was left loosened
and I claimed victory.

Excellent point - it would probably be best to anchor the
seatpost/rope-to-car to the tree in addition to the frame.
That way, when the seapost came out, it wouldn't exceed a
certain point and the only danger would be sinusoidal rope-
slap on the car.

As long as we're getting picky about it. It probably would
be best to grease the seatpost and check to see if it's
getting stuck periodically.

You're right. But Honestly? I would never do that. It could
wreck the frame.
