Dia Compe Seat Post Clamp
« on: February 11, 2009, 05:34 PM »
Here I am, hunting for dates again  :LolLolLolLol:


I have a two-piece two-bolt Dia Compe seat clamp (not the hinged fella) and i want to get a feel for when they were made so i know what era builds it would be correct for ?

And here I am answering my own questions again  :LolLolLolLol:

I just had a rumage through my folders and found the dia compe 86 brochure that someone posted a link up to a while back and both types appear in there (piccy below). For some reason i had it in my head that the 2-piece came out first and was replaced by the hinged in the early eighties but i guess i was wrong  :-[

Well it's for an '84 build so i think it'll work just fine  :)

Piccy from the '86 catalogue:

An absolute wealth of knowledge on this site.......


Trouble is that knowledge is about drinking, taking drugs and eating, know fook all about bikes.

I imagine they were made for years before and after 86  :daumenhoch:

Just got a reply on another site from someone saying they have an advert in a 1980 magazine depicting the 2-piece DC clamp and he swears it was around even earlier than that - so I guess it was around for a while and suitable for many builds  :daumenhoch:

They were around in the late 70's for sure, I had one on my Scorpion back in 1980  :daumenhoch:
