You have at least a couple choices -- you could shim your present post with a thin piece of metal, say a slice out of an aluminum beer or soda can. This is probably the easiest and least expensive option. You could try other posts to find one that fits better and buy that one. Or you could ream the seat tube to accept a 26.4mm post and use that.
