Strange Seatclamp - any one seen one like this before?

<< < (3/6) > >>

bridgecity:
I have one of those. exactly the same.
it's the odd orange-gold anodizing of cheap chinese repops.

so i decided to strip it.  and there is no stamping under the label.
the casting is a bit off, so it's my opinion these are repops but not sure of the production era.

Stodgy:
Yeah, could be, never thought of that.

Mine is stamped with FORGED JAPAN on the top and the casting is pretty good. But it does seem an odity...mine you it came out of a respected distributor, not sure if they dealt with any re-pops there.

Hmmmm the mystery deepens!

Stodgy:
It might have been something Tange did for a cheap complete or something? Someone mentioned it may have been off a complete Suzuki BMX?

bridgecity:
the one i got was NOS off ebay.  they come up frequently on us ebay.  think they are coming out of singapore currently.
this one also says forged in japan, but the finish quality is much less than "authentic" clamps that I bought back when.

daz bmx it!:
I had one exactly the same only in silver sold it to rubber 'fookin' ducky and sent it but the git never paid me! >:( :knuppel2:
