frames that takes a 29.6mm seatpost?

[scant]

my mates got a 29.6mm thomson seatpost (its been cut to length, size is via vernier calipers) as its machined i'm guessing that its supposed to be 29.6mm, but what frames take that size?

The only one on Sheldon Brown's website is:

Nishiki Cascade 1990?

...but I wouldn't mind trying one in my Buck - the 29.4 doesn't exactly do up as tight as it should! So maybe Fat people are a potential market

I think my Raleigh Special Products 450 is that size (853 tubing). I know I had to get a shim for it for the lack of appropriately sized seat posts!

Mine might not be standard though (it's had a replacement seat tube) - it's ok with a 27.2 & a shim that's supposed to go to 29.4, but doesn't clamp properly on a 29.4 post. Bizarre. Really need to get a proper measurement taken of it!
