1995 Marin Team Issue seatpost size?

[Bicycle Addict]

As title suggests lads, anyone know what size post I need to find? I got the frame by itself and want to build it up, only going with XT but it will not be an original build anyway.

Thanks

As far as I am aware, and people please correct me if I'm wrong, but the frames didn't change much in the early 90's, just different cable routing.
My 1993 is a 26.4.

One way to make sure for certain I would say; get some verniers on it.

Re:

To be honest, 27mm rings a bell :|

Most likely 27.2. A 94 is 27.2 and the frames changed little.
27.0 fits 1992.

So is the consensus at 27.2 for a Marin Team? I need to know for a build....anyone?

¿Team Issue? Mine is 27.0. If you look at my seat post, you can see a blue line . I found one seat post NOS while I was cleaning all the bicycle parts and I threw away the old one. Well, it was the wrong size, so I have mechanized to 27.0.
If the frame is like this, it is 27.0. That is why I have a blue line.
Edit: This is a 1996 Team Issue.

There wasnt a team issue in 1995 (first post)...team marin 1995 is 27.2mm.

89 team and 92 team / issue 27.0.

91 had a big old sized "Strong" brand post 30.?

According to Sheldon Brown, 93-96 was 27.0. They went to 27.2 in 1997.
