My Sam used a 26.8 seatpost, but this hadn't been updated on the website at the time of purchase, so it was a surprise...and I wasn't able to use my Nitto I had on hand. Somewhat annoying, but at least I had the provided Kalloy post.
My Sam also had beefed-up fork blades, but this was a design change only revealed after pre-order deposits had been made. Overall, I'm not fond of Grant's/Rivendell's penchant for continually beefing up their frames here and there. Is there a real need for a .9 wall on the seat tube for a road bike..? Are there constant seat tube failures out there on road bikes with 27.2 posts that we're not hearing about? But anyways, Origin8 also makes a 26.8 seatpost for around $28, and it's a two-bolt straight design that looks to be a copy of Thomson's.
