Title: MX Seatclamp: original vs repro??
Post by: punkdSICO on February 22, 2012, 08:01 PM

How do you tell the difference (besides the price :) )?

Is it just the extra "DC" graphic as shown in this original?

Confusing..

Yeah, I had already worked that one out.  Sure, the "dia compe 25.4 cast" stamped ones are easy to stop but what about the ones without this graphic?
