Thanks greeno, I have various 27.2 posts I could try. 27 I don't have, but the more I research it the more it seems 27 is unlikely.

OK, removed the bolt and teased the binding area out a bit using a flimsy plastic wallpaper scraper (I didn't want to use a screwdriver as it seems risky). It certainly looks a bit better now. Would be good to get someone to look at it, any recommendations for somewhere to take it in London? I must admit I'm wary of going to a frame builder as it doesn't seem like it will require anything significant doing. Mainly I think I need to clarify the post size and possibly get it reamed or opened out a little by someone who knows what they are doing.

Actually just found this thread which shows a very similar looking seat post area. Perhaps just a Ciocc thing? https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/259838/#comment12596038

It is a 53/54. I think it is one owner from new, I bought it from a mature gent so surprising for him to have inserted the wrong size post, but you never know.

I don't know what tubing it has, the old Columbus sticker lacks details (I think only the newer Columbus stickers had an actual grade of tubing stated). Originally I had assumed it was 26.8 and therefore Aelle. Now looking at the seat post scenario I'm less sure. NB: The post doesn't slide in very easily.

I picked up a very nice 80s Ciocc recently. However, I am not sure the seat post is the correct size. The bolt seems to be pulling it in too tight. Maybe I'm imagining it, see pics, one with 26.8 post fitted, the other with the post removed. In both the centre area where the bolt fits seems pulled very tight, even though I used just 5nm to tighten it. Could it be 27.0?

Royce chainset ^ is 185mm. Long legs required.

Thanks gaz but I already have some Campione del mondos sitting around.

Cleats/Campag braze on adapter arrived, many thanks.

I think Deda measure from outside to outside. Why?!?!

Gators/pista sold, remaining stuff now moved to eBay.

Forks moved to eBay. Tyre (pair) reduced to a tenner.

Thanks for the replies, have sent pms.

Great, how much are you looking for posted? Obviously I can't see condition, but I assume you wouldn't fit scruffy bars to your lovely Colnago!

I'll take them please.

Thanks but I'm holding out for 40cm.

I'll take braze on adapter (Campag) and grey or red cleats (depending which ones @furious_tiles wants as they asked for a set first).

I'll take the Zipp stem, will pm.

Looking for 3ttt tdf drop bars or Cinelli 64 (giro d’italia) bars for a build. 40cm.

Dibs Zipp 38 short and shallow

Re: the 1969 bike on eBay, I asked for the measurements and they are as follows: Top tube centre to centre:
23in/58.5cm, Seat tube centre to headset centre: 22.5in/57cm. Annoyingly too big for me.

Condor fork, Marathon 28c x2 and Ultegra stuff remains.

Condor wheels, Gatorskin, Ilford film sold.

Suggest you adjust the title to Condor Pista 55.

An inverse shim?
