Borrowed some allen keys and took out the seatpost. Rough measurement with a ruler shows just under 24mm diameter. Had a look on Sheldons site, and the nearest is 23.4mm (hard to find). WIll measure with micrometer tonight.

My options are:
1. bolt on a cheap seat clamp bolt to the hacked original post. Likely to require constant readjustment, and bulky.
2. Shim a 22.2mm BMX seatpost to 23.4 with a can shim
3. File/lathe down a 25.4mm seatpost to 23.4mm? Filing of 2mm sounds very dodgy, so will avoid this option.
4. Find another Peugeot seatpost with integrated clamp (hens teeth?). Anyone have one spare?
Suggestions welcome.
