lpg I don't have one, sorry, but i'd love to see a photograph of your new mercian.
All in good time.... I was surprised it looked so good when I put wheels on it.... It's become the center of some annoyance recently that I forgot it was a great frame!

If it don't fit then I'm near BrickLane all day everyday (unfortunately), for about the next two weeks..... we'll do a swap or something

But if it turns out that the Dura Ace pin is bigger than 27.2 and your frame does take a 27.2, and that's what's causing the problem, then a 27mm's going to be too loose. Maybe it's better to try a couple of 27.2 seatpins first, they're a lot more common and easier to get hold of than 27.

Anyone have a 27.0 for sale or swap?

I'm going to try one last thing before the Mercian frame goes back to Derby......
I tried to put my 27.2 seat post into a Bob Jackson of the same steel (631) and it didn't fit in there either! I'm starting to think I have a dodgy DuraAce post! Anyway, I'm going to try and fit a 27.0mm post and if it fits I'm just going to call it quits and ride it. I put some wheels on it today and I just have to build it and ride it.... the rear wheel clearance of the seat-tube was just too tight to be sat on the floor of my bedroom (!!)
So does anyone have a 27.0mm post that they either:
don't want,
want to sell,
want to swap for the DuraAce 27.2(? try it first ? with some extra money at either end of the bargain)
Remember, if it fits then u are saving me a trip and a lot of pissing about in Derby! And nobody wants to go to Derby if they can help it!
