A few Colnago Master Questions

[Herder]

Building up a new bike, the frame is new.

1. What size is the seatpost? The 27.2 seatpost I have is not going nicely. I can get it in to the minimum but thats about it. I don't want to really ram it in. I am also having a hard time getting it out. Is this normal? I tried a 25.4 and that stops half way down. Is it because of the tubing shape? What to do?

2. How far in should you be able to get the wheel into the rear dropouts. I can hardly get them in at all. The non drive side goes in a little more then the other side, but the screw that holds them in place is not even long enough to reach. I'm thinking they should be going in a little more

Any suggestions?

Thanks
