I think when Jim Merze makes a few seat post binder bolts and offers them to us, he is doing what RS is suggesting craftsmen do but maybe not often enough. Dave Bohm is another craftsman who makes stuff. I bought a set of tube blocks from Dave that he made. These are two guys that are doing what RS would like to see more often. Jim and Dave did not need prompting from Richard -- They are a dying breed -- And I think that is Richard's lament.
