I made these bolts a while back at Dale's request. An NOS one sold for $225 on ebay. Dale sent me a link to the auction and asked if I could make him a couple. As luck would have it I happened to have an original in stock to copy. I made a few extra in case anybody else needed one. They are made out of stainless steel to avoid having them chrome plated. >>
Hey everybody, these bolts & nutz are beautiful.. I took mine and spent 45 minutes with Simichrome on the buffing wheel and it looks like a chrome plated original but more perfect. BTW, these ARE NOT the 3 piece Cinelli seat binders of later bikes..... (Just so you know)
