Cycle Craft Fred'z Seatclamp
« on: March 10, 2008, 08:34 AM »
Hi Guys , I have had this seat clamp for almost forever now and when i was cleaning up in the workshop (shed really  :LolLolLolLol: ) i decided I would strip the paint and give it a buff  :) . There was a Fred'z Cycle Craft sticker on it (same place as in pic 5) in blue that I have replaced now with the pink one  :shocked: . What i would like to know is , what bike did they come on  ??? or was it just an aftermarket part  :-\






Thanks for your help  :daumenhoch:

I have seen a couple of these over the years on ebay.com both in White with the same sticker so they must be Cycle Craft.

Clive , Its defo a Cycle Craft as i removed the original sticker  ;) I once saw an ad with a picture of the seatclamp and thought "i have one of them" but never saved the photo or website it was on  :tickedoff:
I just had a search for DK clamps and came up with these
http://tabletopbmx.com/shop/index.php'main_page=index&cPath=2_4

As you can see , there is no slot in the mk 1 and the mk 2 has the fatter bolt end that i remember  :)

Ian , I will keep my eyes open on ebay.com and see if anymore pop up  :daumenhoch:

Alans used to have those in the oldschool section, I think they where bright orange, not sure when they came out though.

Good stuff Cyclecraft gear :)

hmmm, let me have a dig around, i'm sure i have a DK clamp with that ridge but hey, i could be wrong!

To answer your original question though mate, surely an aftermarket part?  have you emailed Dale Holmes?  He rode for them in this era and has too sharp a memory!

its identical to a dk but for the slot, would not be beyond possibility that dk were commisioned by cyclecraft to knock a few out, "oooo err missus" :D

Sorry for the late reply. Thats a early 90,s seat clamp. It came on all of the bikes.Nothing too special, but. rare. Looks to be in real nice shape.

At least now i know it is a CycleCraft seatclamp  :daumenhoch:
