Got one... but rather tight fit. Filet brazed frame, so a bit worried about too much pressure on the seat tube with it not haveing a sturdy lug! 26.4 / 26.6 version anyone!?

probably a bit of corrosion, get your LBS to measure it with a vernier to check size: if 26.8 , ream it to relieve the tightness, sometimes about .3 of a mil is all it needs

Cheers, was considering this...
I did measure with digital calipers, but the tube at the top is a bit out of round. Then averaged the measurements to try to get the size right.
Think I'm going to try to get a cheapy 26.4 or 26.6 from Bike Recycling place and make sure of the size. The 26.8mm goes in fine at the top, but I think it may be 'spreading' the tube a bit. Seems less keen to go in when about as deep as where the seat stays meet the seat tube. This, plus tightening down the collar and measuring now makes me think it's maybe for a smaller post than first thought. Being filet brazed with no lug at top of seat tube, I think I must have made the mistake of measuring without the seat collar on to compress the tube a little. If that makes sense!??? I'm used to there being a lug there doing that a bit!
Looking for a Campagnolo Seatpost, 26.8mm. **Correction - 26.4 / 26.6mm **Any model of the two bolt type.
I have a 27.2mm one I could swap. SOLD
I'm in Edinburgh so need to be happy to post. I also need it asap as I don't have a bike until I find one!
EDIT >>>> 27.2mm post sold via forum to help funds.
Cheers, Daniel
