> If anybody wants to go ahead with this project, keep me posted. I'd like to be able to ride my aluminium railed Ideale, but the seatpost clamp that I have has seen better days. There was a bike on display in Wheelsmith at Palo Alto which had an Ideale saddle clamped into a Nuovo Record post with extra long 7mm bolts. The Zeus parts are a much more elegant solution- the cradles hang below the pivots on the seatpost head.
