Hi

I am building up the above bike, and was wondering if anyone out the has one of these, and can check the exact seat post diameter, so I can order the right one. Its blue, 501 tubing, looks a little like this

Good advice here, especially the last post.

well, its definately not 27.2, as all the posts I have are 27.2 - except for one, which is going to be made to fit with some Irn Bru shims

I suspect its 26.something but the one I have hasnt got a visible stamp, if it was the 27.0mm one in the for sale post, it would cost me more than the total build

As you say, good advice in the last post
