Clamp near the top of the seat tube.

Motos generally were the nicest bikes in their price point compared to Raleigh / Peugeot / others.

Definitely the nicest ride.

Not clamped tightly, just kinda balanced there… if I’m actually working on the bicycle I’ll either clamp on the seat post or swap the seat post out for ISC-1, internal seat tube clamp…
The decals on the seat tube on this frame are kinda torn up because someone didn’t tighten clamp up tight enough to keep the frame from moving in the clamp…the older style clamps were hard on the frames,too!



Each of my shops has one…
