I've got a pretty rare 1988 Arrival (aluminium) frame and fork, in the alternate Polar White paint. It's structurally sound but the paintwork is pretty ratty. If it's of interest I can have a measure and get some pics? Catalogue image below, in the black colourway
Some nice ones in Germany: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-diamond-back-axis/k0
I have a DBR Axis TT complete with M900 XTR, Manitou 4, Chris King wheelset etc.
Build is here https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1995-dbr-axis-tt.330928/
I have since replaced the fork with an alloy steerer Manitou 4 with SpeedSprings, the XC600 had an oil seal failure so i have relegated those to the wall.
Closeup of the frame when i bought it (from this site) https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/seriously-lovely-dbr-axis-team-titanium-sold.317990/

Sorry for deviating, but are you sure you employed a 27.0 Thomson seatpost? I think I had to resort to a 27.2 seatpost in order not to stress the clamp too much. Maybe you check the gap at the clamp.
Cheers,
Thomas
