I have this 2001 P2K frame that I bought used. The seat post cannot go down as far as it's supposed to because on the inside of the seat tube there are two metal burs that appear to be from a bad weld job. Although I'm not entirely sure if it's a bad weld or maybe some other kind of build up.
My main question is -- is it safe to file this down or use a reamer? Or should I keep it the way it is and just cut the seat post down? I would prefer to not cut it down if possible.
Inside the seat tube. You can see the two burs on either side. And way beneath them you can see the v shaped bracket which is where I think the seat post should bottom out.
For reference, this is where the burs are from a view from the outside. They are right where the seat stays are welded.
