Hello people, I need to find a nice shiny seatpost for my late 70s Merlin. Been told I need 27.1mm (bike shop measured) but can't find anything good new or coming up on the bay (one month looking). How low can I go with the size considering shimming or just tightening really hard, can I go to 27.2mm and pray for some allowance?
