Hi-Ten Nishiki International Seatpost question, optimistically asked
The chances of finding a definitive answer to this without a seatpost gauge, I realize, are not good. I should just buy one. But here it is: I have a Nishiki International dating from 1977, if the derailleur date code is to be believed. A a green decal on the down tube identifies the tubing as "high tensile steel." A 25.4 post is substantially too small, and a 26.7 (really) is substantially too big. I'm guessing 26.0 or maybe 26.2. Anybody?
