Not sure of your accessibility to a ruler, but if you have one, is there a reason why you've not taken the post from the frame and measured its diameter?
-
Easy, it's C/pi.
Why not just measure it yourself?

Yes, because i'm at work, and i am trying to bid on one.... Besides, up here in canada, my wooden ruler is also being used a window scraper for my snowmobile, and it's 200km to the nearest neighbour....(kidding folks,kidding)

I used to have a Miele Beta road bike and it had a 27.2mm seatpost. I would think your would also have a 27.2mm diameter seatpost. Is the Volta steel frame? if so, I'm sure it used a 27.2mm seatpost since Miele used standard sizes. Have a look at the current seatpost to confirm though. There should be some inscription on it.

Somewhere on the www.sheldonbrown.com 0r affiliated harris cyclery sheldonbrown.comseatposts.htmlOpen ↗ website(s) there is a database of seatpost sizes, including old bikes.

well you probably want to look at your actual bike instead of specs online, if you even find those.
take your seatpost out of your frame and looke on the seat post for a diameter symbol, the number next to that is the number you need
