My frame looks great without the clamp, but l thought I'd ask if they made a variant of my frame designed for a collar clamp or was this a custom job for ease of finding posts and/or adjustment. Thanks, Neal

That said a Moser has been an idea rolling around in my head off and on for a few years. They seem to have produced with a wide range of tubing brands, styles and other ideas. I am not sure if this was for monetary reason, following popularity or just trying to be innovative. I have been wanting a frame with Oria tubing and I think a Moser would be the way to go but I just never seem them at a reasonable price.
