Seat Post Diameter
I've got an older model Cannondale CAAD 8 frame that I'm trying to build. I need a seat post and was measuring the inside diameter of the seat tube, but my calipers are screwing up on me, giving one measurement one time and another the next. I'm pretty sure it is either a 27mm or 27.2mm but I need to be sure.
Does anyone have one like this Cannondale and can tell me for sure? Thanks

Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.
27.2 mm is a pretty common size. See if you can borrow one that size to test fit.

Cannondale has traditionally used 27.2
27.0 would be something I would expect on a steel frame also
