• Dante, you might want to post a wanted thread about a 24.8mm seatpost and enquire about the BB. Im pretty sure there will be someone out there to help you or done this kind of restoration/rebuild?

    Will do!

    If you can get your hands on a 25.0 seatpost, try shoving that in.

    ..and by the looks of it you need a French-threaded bottom bracket.

    A guy in work tells me there is a local bike 'dipping' shop that also do frame building/adjusting so they may be able to whip off 0.2mm for me, also I will be visiting a re-cycle shop to see if they have any odd sized posts in the bits bins.

    Last resort might have to be shoving it in, I'd rather not get to that point though.
