Looks like it's going to be tricky to get the colour then

take frame to an auto paint supplier. they often have a scanner they use for matching paint without codes.

not sure if the frame would be too big though - never actually seen one myself.

once they have scanned it they would custom mix it. wont necessarily be expensive and they can usually mix rattle cans too

Proceed with caution - my 1992 Explosif is 27.0mm post. Might even have a spare one

OE was a 27.0 post but there have been various threads with people saying a 27.2 is a better fit for their Kona. 30mm for the clamp is right.

27.2 is common and easily available - beg/borrow one and see if it fits

27.0 is certainly a good fit in my frame but there are variances.

Just had a thought i have a 27.0 seat post on my AA , if it goes easy that mean it wrong size?

If it falls into the seat tube its maybe too narrow
