Information on frame kastle randonnee pro

[Obi-Juan]

I recently got a beautiful Kastle XC-F900, which I've always liked, with its characteristic apple green/red color combination, very Benetton-esque.
Anyway, I asked for help (https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/kastle-xc-f-900-help.495123/) and they gave me some photos of a beautiful saddle for that bike. I started looking for it: Fizik Kastle; Fizik Nisene green; Kastle saddle... and suddenly, Randenee appeared.
I searched for information and found this great thread!

It arrived today, and with its handlebar, which is theoretically important for the bike's geometry. I'm happy.

I found an abandoned 1991 Kastle Tour Randonee Pro frame in Seattle half submerged in a lake. It has Tange tubing and is white w/ two shades of orange, so IM assuming 1991. It has a flex-stem with rubber puck for shock absorption. I'm trying to rebuild it to original specs. I already bought wheels with XT Hubs, and can get F&R XT Derailleurs. Then all I need is a seatpost and seat. Can anyone tell me the SP diameter? The opening measures ~29.85mm. Was the original SP silver or black? (The 1990 has a black SP.) Thanks!

Hi,
nice bike, I do like this Randonee series.
No clue about seatpost size, but originally it came with a black post.

Please find below some pictures of a brochure, released end of 1990. Sorry for the bad quality, unfortunately I have nothing better.
