Actually scratch that just realised it has a 31.6 so I'm talking garbage. I blame a lack of coffee

Not sure if any steel HT is that big, but my S-Works Stumpy M5 alloy HT has a 30.9mm seatpost.

All my steel bikes use 27.2 or thinner.

Evil Sovereign takes a 31.6 post. Don't think there are too many steel HTs that do...

If you're basing the 30.9mm requirement around a current/future dropper seatpost, remember you can get 30.9mm-31.6mm seatpost shims so you can run a 30.9mm dropper in a 31.6mm frame if needed. USE, problem solvers, others?

Pre 2012 Whyte 19s are 30.9mm, at least the 2010 and 2011 were. Nice frames too.

"shims = superstar"
but they don't offer a 30.9-31.6mm shim?

I quite like the plastic USE ones. seem to slide against a post okay, better with a little grease/carbon paste. Treat them a bit cack handed ime and its then that they crack
