Murray Valiant Seatpost Size??

[Bicycle808]

I just got one of these frames; takes an outsized seatpost. I don't have any calipers handy, so I thought maybe if someone has one, they can pull out the post and check? Measuring by ruler, looks to be 30mm, plus or minus a few tenths, but as we all know, those tenths-of-mm are crucial for seatposts... And, yeah, my biggest posts on-hand are 27.2mm; needless to say, they fit loose-as-a-goose....

TIA

Thanks, Smoop. I'll see if I can find one at the co-op or in the parts bin before I order one, but that definitely could be. I tried to squeeze a 30.0mm headset cup in there; no-go so 28.6 seems right....
