Hi,
All Bates (Horace) with Cantiflex tubing take 26.8 seat posts.
quite common to find them with a damaged seat tube as undersize posts are often fitted and stopped from slipping by over tightening the seat lug.
Terrific bikes to ride, the tubing seems to be one of the 1950's un orthodox designs that actually works ,I love mine.
Good Luck
