Subject: [CR]Lambert Seatpost Size???

Anyone know what size seatpost Lamberts used?  I'd assumed either 26.8 or 27.2 as typical of high end British bikes, but I just received what may be a Lambert post from a list member (they don't seem to be marked).  I mea sured it and a couple I already had, including the original one on my ear ly lugged Viking badged Lambert.  They all measure between 26.6 and 26. 7, so I suppose it was a nominal 26.6, as I never heard of a 27.7 post, unl ess this was another thing unique to Lambert.  Did Lambert take 26.6 then ?  If so was it only the early lugged ones, or the later fillet brazed on es as well?

Merry Christmas,
