Subject: [CR]RE:753 post sizes

I have been watching this thread with a couple of questions(and observations)
          My 753s bikes are a 90s RON COOPER and a recently acquired ,mid 80s , RALEIGH TEAM bike.
         The COOPER came with a damaged seat lug as it had been used with a 27.2 seat post ,this was corrected with a 27.4 reamer and it now fits a 27.4 post beautifully.
            Close examination of the RALEIGH shows the same condition a 27.2 post and binder eyes pinched down so it will also get the 27.4 reamer and another post.
          I beleive WATERFORD has consistently used 27.4 posts even with 531. So whats up here?
