Sub-Millimeters Matter

Correct fit is important for the integrity of the seat tube and the bolt area. You received good advice earlier (to bring the frame and post to your local bike shop for a measurement). I would not advise buying any post before you're certain of the correct size.

My '89 Club requires a 26.6mm seatpost, for what it's worth.
