Maybe they didn't do that back in the day yours was made. Also, if it's CF, even with a aluminum seat post, I'd think carbon paste more proper than grease or anti-seize.

I don't know whether or not the concerns I just gave you are valid considerations when getting a new band for a frame with a CF seat tube. However it doesn't seem right that just any clamp band will do.

Perhaps some others that know will say if there are.
It is a cf frame and a cf seat stem.
I will look into the clamp.
