I doubt this is a very interesting company to most - not the cache' of Campagnolo say, or even Shimano perhaps but I'm curious about them. Can anybody tell me anything about SR, Laprade, and/or SR Laprade ? I thought I read way back when, that they had a French connection of some sort (bought out a French company, merged with them, were bought by French company, made some French components...???).
As it is I bought an SR Laprade seatpost at VeloSwap (appears to be a well spent $5) and with some good polishing with Simichrome poly it's turning out to be a very pretty item - it has a very nice sheen, nice flutes, interesting "head". However the clamp itself seem a bit rough.
