My Vigorelli finally arrived today and having checked and double-checked it should be 27.2mm I drop a brand new greased Ultegra seat post into the greased seatpost tube and thunk it stops dead about 3-4 inches into the frame. I put a little bit of pressure on it then a bit more but its not moving.. Pull out the post and the anodising has been scraped right off the end.
Shone a torch down and had a good feel around the inside of the tube at the point it seems to be sticking and it feels nowhere near smooth. Haven't yet tried another 27.2 post yet in case its a ropy bit of kit thats oversized, but if it isn't does this sound like a 'return to vendor' issue? Could it be reamed correctly with little or no fuss or should I be thinking about returning the bloody thing if something this basic hasn't been checked before leaving the factory?
