Seat post binder / pinch bolt

[kingoffootball]

I want a proper bolt to replace the generic clamping bolt on my Aende. Does anyone have any recommendations or nice ones going spare?

I was considering this one from Rosa Bikes:

Still looking. I went to buy the one from Rosa Bikes (http://www.racerrosabicycles.co.uk/inde ... ucts_id=65) but when you get to the checkout it's an insecure page.

Maybe an SRP titanium one would do?

Re:

sjscycles.co.uk/ have a selection, might still be a bit too generic thought?

Thank you. I had a look through their's, but there was nothing really nice enough, as you say.

I found this one at Mercian yesterday:

So I am just waiting for a reply about the length. They also have some other nice retro parts. I would be all over this Ofmega master hub if they had the matching rear:

Mercian replied to say they do two sizes:
1. 14-20mm
2. 23-33mm
I don't think the longer one is going to be quite long enough, but I have ordered one as I can use it on one of my Scapins if it doesn't work for the Aende.
I could use the one it came with, but I don't like the external ones as much and the red anodising bugs me because it's not quite the same colour as the paintwork.

Turns out the longer one is 1-2mm too short for the Aende and 1mm too long for the Scapins.

I can buy a shorter one for one of the Scapins later, but it is the Aende I am looking for one for at the moment.

I now have a 23-33mm one as a potential swap.

The bike will have a Campagnolo chainset, so it would fit with that, but I would rather a nice stainless bolt if I could find one. I have also read quite a few comments about the quality of the Campagnolo bolts not being that good and seen a few reports from people who say theirs have broken.
