So...Has anyone ever seen an EL-OS frame with a 27.0 seatpost?

I'm thinking of reaming the seat tube (although I'm always hesitant). In this case, with the double lugs at the top it seems pretty beefy, although the brazed joint at the very top (between tube and lug IDs) with the thin tubing could always be an issue. Of course, we're only talking about .1mm!

A 27.0 Thomson slipped after tightening, a 27.0 vintage Gipiemme seems to hold, and a 27.2 Record Carbon doesn't want to go in past the first 1/2" or so.

So...Today I guess I will ream the ST and face the BB shell, as well as search out touch-up paint...hopefully a close enough match to spray the Time CF fork.
