Cycle Craft Fred'z Seatclamp

[snav69]

Hi Guys , I have had this seat clamp for almost forever now and when i was cleaning up in the workshop (shed really  ) 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  . What i would like to know is , what bike did they come on  or was it just an aftermarket part 






Thanks for your help

Looks like a DK clamp

Deffo not a DK as i'm sure they were fatter at the bolt end  , i have seen an advert with these in but can't find it now

snav, i reckon thats defo a DK mate, i don't think cyclecraft made a clamp.  I have a dk, i'll dig it out to compare.

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 
I just had a search for DK clamps and came up with these

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

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!

I've just sent a message to the cyclecraft ceo over on bmx museum  Hopefully he will know the answer  i'll post his reply when/if i get it

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"

[thecrooch]

ive got one of those at home and was sold it as a DK but it doesant have any stickers on it at all....

doesnt mean it is a DK though....

I have a few DK ones but the double bolt design, and they do have the ridge see the mini one below

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
