Hello!
Just got a lovely second hand Roberts - what I believe to be a Transcontinental, build in 1990.
Bicycle rides like a charm, but the 27.0mm seatpost is slipping a cm over ~10km. Already tried another one, than the one that came with it (looked original in terms of the group), but still no luck.
A 27.2 feels really wrong when trying to insert, it would need more force even for the first millimeters.
As the nice guys from Roberts are taking a sabbatical and records are not available currently: are there any Transcontinental owners, from roughly that period, who can tell me which diameter is right?
Reaming to 27.2 would feel a little bit strange with such a high quality frame, if it would have been made for 27.0...
Thanks in advance,
Micha
Btw: framesize is 58cm, if this has an impact on the used tubes...
