To add a few more to the 26.2 club, my 1983/84 Columbus Aelle-tubed Cilo takes a 26.2 seatpost and so does my 1980 Mercier, which has Super Vitus 980 tubing. I am estimating the year on both bikes based on fork crown/seatstay/bottle braze-on features since I did not buy them new and the Mercier has lost just about all of her decals save the Vitus transfers.
Wishing a Happy New Year to you all!
