Hey guys
I'm hoping this will be a simple one.... I lost my seat post collar for my 1987(maybe 88) fat chance. Everything is built just can't find the seatpost collar, once I do it will be ready for the first ride. Not looking for anything g crazy, just the right size and comparable with that eyelet. 1) does anyone know the proper collar to buy to fit this bike? Right now my bike shop put a temporary one on, but it doesn't fit that little eyelet behind the post. 2) if someone has one laying around for sale I would love to buy it from you. Please let me know, this is super frustrating after all of the parts I had to collect to for the build the seatpost clamp was one that I had when I started.....but lost. Again I'm pretty sure it's an 87 Fat City Fat Chance. Thanks guy! Joey |

salsa has a collar that will fit. DKG also and it's even stronger.

Both lip lock and flip lock will work w/ that tab on your seat tube. They do have a smaller than i would like bolt, 5mm i guess.
DKG used to sell a mountain collar which had a thicker bolt. Easier to find the salsa. It's what i have in my wicked.

I just got one of the quick release ones straight from DKG- doesn't fit. It has a lip on the collar that keeps it from sliding low enough to line up that eyelet/tab with the QR bolt....the search continues. Do I need to ask DKG for a specific version or something?

Original FCC /BMX ones can be found on the net. They are deeper section and the bolt is lower down in alignment with the loop
