Confusing Documentation

It seems that the documentation on my Diamondback Trail Streak has some errors. As I noted in a previous post it gave a measurement of 26.6 mm for the seat post. So I purchased a seat post of that size and it was larger than the hole. So I measured the opening and it appears they where giving the outer dimension of the seat post and not the inner dimension of the seat post.  So I will take the 26.6 mm post back and pick up one that is 25mm.  Will let you know if that will fit in my next post.

missing saddle

For the very first time in a very long time I had time for a bicycle ride, so I went to get my bicycle out of the garage and quickly noticed that someone had stolen the saddle and seat post! Does anyone know where I can get a seat post that will fit a 1984 Diamond Back Trail Streak? My documentation says the seat post is 26.6 mm but when I purchased one of that size it did not fit, it was the same size as the hole it should slide into.
