Hi,
I'm bringin an old Trek road frame back to life. I measured the inside diameter @
1.080 inches on the nose. I know that 27.2mm = 1.070" Seems to me that .010" is alot
of area to squeeze to clamp down on. Gap slot looks ok. Are there/were there 27.3mm or 27.4mm seatposts made?

TIA,

Mr. Dan

Dollars to donuts, it's a 27.2. My old Lugged steel Trek is, and so is the new 5200. Next size up is a 27.4

check out the sheldon brown/harris cyclery website; he's got an ongoing page about seatpost diameters for alot of bikes.
