Nada Mein Hombre,
We McCracken's are as thick as shampoo at the neck of a ...

I'd appreciate if someone would give me the definitive size. I ask not for the cloths of heaven merely a little absolute. Is Mr Scott USA still alive because their website is the most uninformative I;ve bore witness to - and them a manufacturer and all...

measuring it is the only way to get an accurate size. The sizes are so close together that if you try to guess you may be wrong. When your talking about tenths of mm and such its like splitting hairs...literally. If you don't have the equipment to measure it, take it to a bike shop or a machine shop, they will have a caliper that can measure it.
Good Luck

If you have a friend in high school or community college, the auto shop or metal shop teacher can probably help you out.

It may be splitting hairs, but is the measurement taken with the clamp open or closed?

The measurement would be taken with the clamp open, because you know how when its full open the seatpost perfectly fits in, then you tighten it.

I would. I owned a Scott Chenango cromoly MTB I took to my first trip to W Va. Rode like a champ, even in those benighted days before front suspension. Unfortunately I positively destroyed the frame in an accident shortly thereafter.

My chenango took a 26.2
