Reynolds 531 db etc. Outside diameter 28.6mm Less wall thickness 5.5mm x 2 1.1mm Resultant setpost 'hole' 27.5mm

In reality the brazing process can cause a slight ovalization of tubing making 27.2mm a more common seatpost size, however reaming out to 27.4mm on a wellbuilt ie not overheated frame is often possible.
