pretty sure. 27.2 wouldn't go near it. will double check and give it all a good clean up, but assuming that isn't the issue?

it will be slipping about a cm or two over the course of 3/4 short commutes (3 miles or so each way)

If it’s been over tightened or used with a post too small then the opening of the seat tube will indeed be too small for a 27.2 but that’s not to say that further down it isn’t.
Check the split in the tube at the back and make sure both sides of it are straight.

will do.

what I can say is when the bolt is tightened the metal of the lug is very close together. not sure how normal that is though. 27.0 does seem a very snug fit though.
