M monty dog Senior Retro Guru Aug 17, 2011 #2 Tubing gauge for Gara is 0.8mm and given standard seatube outside diameter of 28.6 means an ID of 27.0 and probably reamed out to 27.2 for the seatpost http://www.equusbicycle.com/bike/columb ... schart.htm

M matmimi Retro Newbie Aug 17, 2011 #3 thats what I thought, however the 27.2mm post I have is too large!
