  Regular readers may recall that I was trying to source a replacement half of a clamp for a Milian Pere child seat last year (after it rattled its way loose from my bag when carrying it on my back)..

  Well, sadly, I've conceded defeat as it seems it will need someone with more committed bodging/sourcing skillz than I have to sort it out.

  So, If anyone wants it, it's free to collect from Liverpool St Station..

  
  

  The missing bit is this.. (the knob and that half of the clamp)

  I’ve done the retracing but unfortunately it was a few days before I even realised it was missing, so it seems a lost cause in that respect. And yeah the clamp is slanted which inevitably complicates matters..

  Yup, everything from the left side of the clamp is missing.. so bolt, knob and that half of the clamp sadly..

  Brompton hive-mind.. do you have any ideas on this conundrum..?

  Whilst carrying a Milian Pere child seat across London (with one end poking out of the top of a messenger bag) I arrived at my desitnation to find that one half of the seat-post clamp had vanished - I assume it worked its way loose and fell off (I vaguely recall hearing a mysterious PING! as I passed Emirates Stadium!).

  

  .. the now missing, presumed lost forever, part is this (the side with the twisty knob thingy, including that half of the metal clamp)..

  

  .. as Milian seem to be no longer trading the chances of finding a genuine replacement part seem slim - but equally it looks like the sort of generic clamp that might also be used for loads of other bike-related purposes? Or could be fashioned/3D printed somehow? Inevitably I'm a bit reluctant to consign the whole thing (which fetch £150+ on EBay) to the bin, for the sake of, what is probably, a £2 clamp..?

  It's a great idea, and would kill two birds with one stone, but unfortunately I'm doubled-booked for that night with something I can't get out of.. :(

  This has definitely seen better days but it's free (located in N10)..

  

  

  One caveat is that I had to mount this pretty low on my mountain bike due to braze-ons, and it bounced onto the tyre a few times which is why that grey bit in the middle is scuffed/worn in pic 3. I don't think it's a structural risk at all, and I used it like that for ages, but buyer-beware etc..

  

  I have the clamp for the seat tube too, I just left it on the bike in case someone asks me to deliver it.. ;)
