Bikes: 1999 Peugeot "Competition" with Columbus Thron tubing, 2008 Trek 520 Tourer ("Trek Cromoly"), 2012-ish Whyte hardtail MTB (Hydroformed Al frame). Seatpost slippage issues on all of them! The Peug and the Trek both ended up with uprated seat post collars (they both had the kind that just slots over the top of the ST) that could take more torque. On the Whyte I ended up fabricobbling a better bolt. But none of my own frame-builds (12 bikes to date, 4 of which regularly being ridden by me) have needed anything above modest torque on the binder bolt.
