I think the Tenax used by Schwinn had that size. Of course, Tenax was a relabel of something else

Cromor is said to use 27.2
Zeta should also use 26.8
I can't find the spec, but i suspect that Thron uses 26.8, too.
Also can't find the spec for Aelle R (the rare butted version of Aelle) anybody out there with an "R" frame who can tell us?

I had to use a 28.5 campy front derailleur. 28.6 wouldn't tighten correctly.

I almost mentioned my Bertin earlier, which has a 26.8 seat post, but didn't want to go off-topic. That's also Reynolds 531, double-butted & "probably" metric.

Putting the 0.9mm butt at the top would result in a 26.6mm post being required.
