Ha! I empathize, we have been through that many times here at CDO. Even clear coated frames can suffer under the most seemingly-careful clamping.Now we absolutely never never clamp a bike on any painted portion, either hanging the nose of the saddle (on a built bike) over the really-made-high Park stands (or my Ultimate Pro stand I use for event support) OR by a seat post (I keep a supply of all the sizes on hand to insert in frames.)
