Yours may be an anomaly, or maybe someone messed with it. I assumed that the Peloton, even in '84, would have been a 27.2mm seatpost like my '85 Peloton. All my Schwinns have been dead-on with their seatpost specs and what has ended up fitting.
Regardless, you have a seat post that works, which is important, because Pelotons are pretty freaking sweet bikes.
