Try a 25.8 seatpost, I'll measure the one on my 84 WS tomorrow but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
Thanks. It was pretty ugly, cold set the stays and fork for the wider hubs then "dimpled" the inside of the stays for tire clearance with a ballpeen and a 5/8" brass punch then touched up the paint. The frame was pretty rough to begin with so I wasn't exactly gentle with it. Besides, I have a nicer Schwinn to build now besides my '84 Tempo. I'm going to measure the post tomorrow, I was more concerned with getting some miles on it today.
