My Bombadil was 27.0 - I used a brake cylinder hone to take it out to 27.15 or so, so that a 27.2 Nitto S-84 lugged seatpost would fit. On a side note, my Guv'nor is also a 27.0. My Rivendell Custom was 30.0 - I had never even heard of that size (31.8 tube OD, 0.9 thick) - The only quality seatpost that I could find was an NOS Campagnolo Icarus - which is nice, but only single bolt design. I am not big on using seatpost shims. Nitto makes long S-83s and S-84s, but Rivendell does not sell them. I have 300mm versions of both, I think that I saw a 350mm S-83 for sale once.
