Because I'm looking for some items: black Dia-Compe MX1000 brake caliper, black power disc-style chain ring, and a black seat post clamp.

Yes, it's Radwood-related. smiley

Thanks.

I may have a seat clamp, but I don't remember the color or condition. I'll check the parts stash & let you know.

Thanks. I'm trying to replace a black Laser clamp, but I'm realizing that's a super-rare find these days.

Well my memory is definitely going to E36 M3. I was sure I had an old MX seat clamp in my parts box, but it's not there. 

I did find a totally chewed up & bent fluted aluminum seat post, if you want to test your fate against metal-fatigue?

No problem and thank you for looking. I did find my old seat post. :)

I manage a bike shop that has been open since the early 80s, we have bins and bins of parts. Im pretty sure I saw a black power disc somewhere, I'll look tomorrow.

i've got a buddy checking his stash.  he says he's liquidated most of his BMX stuff in the last few years though, so it's a low-probability search.

Thank you.

I did find a chrome MX-1000 in my stash. Its date code does jibe with my bike. Maybe I originally ran that one? I could have sworn I had a black one.

the only thing I found in the shop was this:

its brand new and not vintage.

Thank you for looking. Yeah, figure I should keep it as vintage as possible.

Also, the day after I buy a replacement, I'll find the original somewhere here in the house....
