I'm fully enlightened, but I still have one of those posts.

When I got the bike, it had no seatpost, and I found an old style post in my bin. It was the wrong size, and I made a shim from a Leinenkugel's can. Since then, I've been keeping my eye out for a proper post, but I don't know the diameter, and don't want to disturb the shim. It's been 20 years.
