Hi everyone,
Does anybody know if Shimano ever made a seatpost binder bolt along the lines of the classic Campagnolo design like this:

Dura Ace would be perfect - if it ever existed - otherwise any old Shimano.

If there never was such a product from Shimano, then what make binder bolt would have been used on a 70s all-Shimano build? Maybe Sugino or Tange? Nothing wrong with Campag, of course, but it seems a bit strange to have a Campag bolt on an otherwise all-Shimano build!

Cheers,
Gareth.
 
I worked in the 70's in a bike shop and don't remember a Dura Ace ones from that era. SABA made titanium ones and Andrew Hague made copies :)

Anything in Velobase ?

Nope, nothing on Velobase save the QR versions that were available with the early MTB gruppos. From looking around google I can't see anything from Shimano along the lines of an old-fashioned seat binder bolt. Sugino still make them so I'll probably go with one of theirs. I don't think I'm going to put too much time into tracking down a SABA TI one ... :wink:

Cheers,
Gareth.
