Subject: [CR] R O Harrison Track frame seat tube sizing


I have a nice 1960 (?) R O Harrison track bike Reynolds 531 and Nervex Pro Lugs, not drilled for brakes and has metal head badge. Very nice bike.

Unfortunately, I cannot for the life of me determine the correct seat post size.

The sizing rod is in as far as I can push it and says 26.8.

I put the 26.8 Campy seat post in and get movement.

Do I need to shim this?

Anybody know for certain what size it is.

I know seat post sizing can be tricky sometimes, but I've never had a problem before.

Thanks for any help,
