Just curious what size my seat post is on my 90's Miele Volta.(looking at one on ebay 27.2mm?)

Not sure of your accessibility to a ruler, but if you have one, is there a reason why you've not taken the post from the frame and measured its diameter?

Easy, it's C/pi.

Why not just measure it yourself?

Besides, up here in canada, my wooden ruler is also being used a window scraper for my snowmobile, and it's 200km to the nearest neighbour....(kidding folks,kidding)

I used to have a Miele Beta road bike and it had a 27.2mm seatpost. I would think your would also have a 27.2mm diameter seatpost. Is the Volta steel frame? if so, I'm sure it used a 27.2mm seatpost since Miele used standard sizes. Have a look at the current seatpost to confirm though. There should be some inscription on it.

well you probably want to look at your actual bike instead of specs online, if you even find those.

take your seatpost out of your frame and looke on the seat post for a diameter symbol, the number next to that is the number you need

why all the trouble with going to sheldon brown or taking the post out??

Measure the circumference with a groceries receipt or someting, divide the circumference by "pie"...taaddaaa.
