Don't tell anyone but when the seat post on my Bombadil would not fit easily, I took out the brake cylinder hone and enlarged the seat tube a bit. A 27.0 seat post was not an option as I was using the Nitto lugged setback seat post - with my long body and short legs, it was the only way the bike would fit with the Bullmooses that I was using at the time. The seat post is a little smaller than 27.2 so I was taking less than 0.1 mm of tube thickness away at the top of the seat tube. I did a lot of honing and fitting and honing and fitting till I could just get the seat post in deep enough - it is still very, very tight. My Guv'nor also takes a 27.0 and I have another Nitto lugged seat post that would look so right on the Guv'nor, but I haven't taken out the brake hone yet.
At least you can get 26.8 seat posts in Nitto S-83 now. I really prefer two bolt seat posts so I can adjust them bit by bit to get the saddle tilt just right - I got spoiled by my Campy two bolt back in 75.
