Comment from Mike Abel:

Columbus Zona frame originally built for a lovely Irish chap, it went on ebay with the seat post stuck in the frame. Before I could get in touch to fix the problem, it sold and you can see now someone has applied heat to the seat cluster to get the post out then resprayed it white. Such a shame because removing a stuck seat post is actually quite easy if you have patience and a bit of a clue. Instead of ruining your frame’s paint, simply sacrifice the post by cutting it off about 60mm above the frame then a longitudinal slot on the inside. Some concentric radial pressure then out she pops so
