Hey Stan! Thanks for the update.
Your photos do the bike more justice than the manufacturer site does - looks good!
"Problem Solvers" makes a machined aluminum shim to go from any common seat-post size to just about any seat-tube size.
400 & 410mm seat-posts in 27.2mm should be easy to track down. Would the extra 4-1/3 inches add enough length? I know Downtube uses a 500mm seatpost (27.2) so there are longer ones out there if needed.
Cheers,
Chris
