Seatpost size for 1995? Stumpjumper?

[SassafrasSprings]

Can somebody tell me what size seatpost a 1995 Stumpjumper takes? I'm pretty sure it's a 1995. The serial # starts with 94, it's a dark purplish color. (looks a lot more purple than the pic shows) The seller said it was a 31.6 but that's too large and I've got a 29.2 that's too small, so it's somewhere in between. I'm going to have to buy one and want to make sure it's the right size. Thanks!!!!

30.4 mm should do the trick bud

Thanks! I would have sworn that I looked at bikepedia and there wasn't a size listed but there it is!

Now I just hope it is a 1995. Everything I have seen describes the color as blue for 95, this is distinctly purple even though it looks blue in the above picture (from the seller, I haven't taken any yet).

I've just had a look on ebay, 30.4 seems very uncommon. Would a shim be a reasonable option?

yeah, a shim would prob work fine bud.
I have found that shimming a post of 27.2 (its the most common size for posts) up to your size will prob be easiest option, just did the same for my Balance

My 95 Stumpy FSR is 29.2, i've found that's not a common size, could the seat tube have been machined out to fit a more common 30mm ?

Sorry, typed the above before reading the whole thread , seems strange they'd use a smaller seattube on the full susser than the rigid :? , i agree with the shim though (if you cant find the right size post) , if you cant buy a new shim off the shelf it'll be an easy thing for a local machine/engineering shop to fabricate.

I thought it was 30.9....but don't quote me

The aluminium ones were 30.9mm, but 30.4 is right for steel. It's a pig of a size to find nice posts in, but the Ritchey-style KAlloy ones work well enough, and don't cost the earth.

30.4 for the post and that is definately a 95 as I have the same. I think Kaisers was that colour as well before he painted it.
I will have a dig round as I have a couple of old posts lying about and see if I have one in that size.

Pretty sure the FSR is 29.4 rather than 29.2 but happy to be corrected
