Ciao---

Not a terribly exciting question, folks, but for me an important one. ("For want of a nail the shoe was lost..." etc.) My 26.2 seat post fits easily into my 1970 Cinelli SC, but seems to be a bit crowded out when I try to insert it into my 1960 Ideor Asso Olimpic. As I don't want to force the issue, does anyone know if this frameset takes a 26.0 or even smaller post? Or is it a 26.2 and in this case just a super-tight fit? The frameset is Columbus tubing. Ideor is not in the Sheldon Brown seat post database, and I don't have an accurate set of calipers or one of those nifty sets of seat post sizers.

Grazie,

PS: Sorry for my multiple posts re the Madison Swap the other day. I believe I have now found my way through most of my Yahoo! Mail weirdness.
