Thanks for the replies ya'll. It appears to take a 27.0 post so based on the info Mark provided I guess it's 1/.7 tubing.

This frame was given to me when I was dumpster diving for old frames to cut up/repair for framebuilding practice. There was no headbadge. Neither the folks at the shop, nor I, had any idea what it was. It came awfully close to getting destroyed at my hands but the lugs, of which I knew nothing, kept my attention. It didn't make sense that a cheap chrome frame & fork would have fancy lugs and a Campy headset. That was the extent of my knowledge. A chance look at a Masi replica track bike photo (by Brian B.) with the same lugs, and a few emails, saved it.

I think I'll build it up with spare parts and ride it a bit to see how the 1/.7 walled tubing feels. Then I'll trade it down the road a bit.
