1995 Giant CFM-4 seatpost size?

I have a 1995 (maybe 1994) Giant CFM-4 that I need a seatpost for but can't figure out the seatpost diameter. Do any mechanics out there know what I need? I think it's an odd size so may have to get a shim if I can find the combo. I don't have the original post anymore.

Edit: Found my old notes and I think it's 30.2 as I tried this before. Now to find a seatpost (and shim?) to make this work.

Thanks for any input.

You can buy a digital caliper for not much money and get the real answer to your question and then use it for the rest of your life. A good cheap investment. Roger

Thanks guys! I figured it out. It's 30.2 and I needed a 26.8->30.2 shim. Weird sizes I guess but I found the shim on eBay for $10.
