I have a nice Raleigh Twenty in white, The past owner had lost the clamp for the seat post, I have the lever , I just need the clamp that surrounds the top of post, oversize from most standard posts.

thanks, David

Ah, that's unfortunate. I don't have a spare but will keep my eye out in case I stumble across one, and let you know.

Shimano BB55 with Phil Wood cups.. I think thats what I have on my Twenty, it's been awhile. Works great with old Campagnolo cranks, 53 chain ring. Took that bike all over the world ( in a suitcase ) Speaking of Mod's: I was thinking of going with a carbon fork upfront.
Will let you know how that goes...

That's sweet! Do let me know how that goes, especially how you deal with finding a long-enough steerer tube. That's in a realm that I am fairly unfamiliar with, so maybe that's a silly question and the steerer tubes do come at 10 inches long before cutting.

I did buy a carbon fork, it's somewhere around here, not yet installed. I will leave the full height of the fork tube and just add a BIG carbon spacer.. or that is my intention anyway.
i want to build the lightest folding twenty I possibly can w/out breaking the bank or compromising strength. It is such a good folder to travel with since it can be locked up on the street and people don't give it a second thought. note: I don't fold it when traveling I disassemble it 100%
