As for the post, the diameter is 27.2 mm. Length from the end of the tube until the min. insertion point is ~180 mm.
I'll check a LBS first thing tomorrow. Hoping to get one around 350 mm for not much more than 30€. I guess I'll just have to see from there, none of the stores really properly display all of their products, just the bikes at best.
What I would do is measure the amount of exposed seat tube after you have the saddle where you want it. Then just make sure that any new post you get has at least that much post showing before the insertion marks.
