Hi,
Two questions that I have:
What is the seat post diameter meant for this frame ? I'd like to compare the answer to what I know is seized in the seat tube of the bike I recently acquired.
If I didn't have a seat post seized in the tube would I see a 'breather' hole between the seat tube and the top tube? Is that how Gios made frames or is it a solid closed tube all the way down to the BB shell?

Answers will help my resolve to source and pour caustic soda and more importantly take a hacksaw to to a Super Record seat post

Should be 27.2. Columbus SL tubing. Not sure what you mean with the other question.

Thanks for confirming the diameter.

I'd like to know if there is a hole between the seat tube and the top tube

Edit. Sorry just got what you meant, no there isn't .

Ok thank you for confirming.
Didn't want caustic to run in to the top tube and solidify in there.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
