Title: Lightened seat post clamp ID?
Post by: dinglem on October 28, 2014, 08:55 AM

Anybody know what this is? It has the letters 'JA' stamped on the top plus maybe more - removed by drilling. It is very very light, if a little chunky...?!

It came on my Scott Beaumont Brum WHEELS so I am going to retain it for the build.

I think everyone went through the phase of drilling everything to save weight bitd well until it all started breaking at least!
