On my Appaloosa, I had a nice NOS Suntour Superbe Pro 26.8 seatpost that I wanted to use (I put the provided Kalloy aside), but it was similarly a slightly loose fit, plus I also noticed that the inside of the seat tube wasn't completely round - before the seatpost clamp was completely tightened down, there was a slight gap on one side where the post entered the seat tube. As I also had a 27.0 Nitto seatpost, I got out my expanding 23.75-27.0 reamer and reamed the seattube to take the 27.0 Nitto post, which a) got rid of the looseness, and b) got rid of the non-roundness.
