Marin Palisades Trail 1994 seatpost size?

[kralle]

Hello!

I'm restoring a 1994 Palisades Trail but it's missing a seatpost. I'm measuring 26.8 but Sheldon Brown's website says that 93-94 Palisades had "26.4 or 27.2?" seatposts. The 94 Marin catalogue I found only says that it had a Marin Lite seatpost, so I'm kind of confused. Does anyone know what's the true size? Thanks!

Unsure of frame year .
Seat post is stamped 91
And 27.0mm if that helps mate

My 1994 Marin Muirwoods has a 27.2mm seatpost. (I believe the 1994 Muirwoods and Palisades Trail are identical frames).
