I also tried my hand at measuring the ID with the calipers in several points around the opening and came up with an average of 1.057" = 26.85mm


So, both methods agree that the correct seatpost is 26.8mm.

Problem solved. Now to find a decent seatpost! Any suggestions???
I would caution: problem is not solved. Possible solution has been identified, and needs to be tested.
