Kona Unit questions.

I posted this in the MTB sub forum, but thought I should post it here too.

I just received a 2002 Kona Unit, & need to know what size the seat post diameter is?
I found that the 2009 is 27.2", do you think they're the same?
And would I be able to convert my unit to 29" wheels & tires?(From a 2009 Kona Unit)

Part II:
I just mangled the seat post that was in there, was pretty much seized, had to drill relief holes, & grease it up with penetrating grease.
I ended up having to heat it up a bit & use a pipe wrench to muscle it out.
It's said 27.2mm on the bar, I chopped it down to use a
stubby for mock up & tuning, & it fit really snug.
Do you think I'll need to try 27.0mm seat post since I'm going to need a new one?
It was a pink seat post that I wasn't planning on keeping BTW.


Thanks in advance.
