Panasonic MC4500 seatpost size

[flip10k]

Hi, been lurking for a long time, now I have a question

I want to build up a Panasonic MC4500, it's the same as the pink one in this thread: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/panasonic-mc-4500-the-pink-one-89.379034/

Sadly, saddle and seatpost were stolen, and I don't know the original size.
Does anyone know the seatpost size? It's a bit hard to measure with just a caliper.

Best,
Philipp

I got tired of guessing and found these quite inexpensive for the trouble they save. Set of 3 that nest together.

I have a similar frame. I think it is something like 26.2mm, but I am not sure.

It could also be 26.6. It is not 26.4 or 26.8.

Thanks, not a bad idea to get something like this. Trying to find out what these things are called in German right now, so I can order one
Would still be interested to know the size if someone owns this frame by chance

I measured with a caliper, tested with a 26.4 post and took into account the posts of @Elev12k, and I'm pretty sure now it's a 26.6. I'll let you know if it fits when it arrives

Hi,

it's been a while

Was away on a bike trip through Europe over the last half year, but now I finally finished the bike! 26.6 was indeed correct.
