seat clamp bolt?

Instead of the hardware store consider a quick release from your LBS.
That's what I use on my Bedford 29er frame.

Steve, don't you find that it is hard to get the quick release secure
enough? When I used them in the past the seat post always seemed just a
tad loose.

I had this same incident with my bedford clamp.

Darren was really helpful and said you could take a dremmel tool or a
file and grind off the small weld to un-attatch the clamp so you can use
another (non quick release clamp) I didnt have a dremmel, so i used a
file. It took a little bit of work, but i got it off and put on a 3
allan bolt clamp.

Unicycle.com sells the bolt. 'Here's a picture of it'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=251). I'm pretty sure
that it's a standard style of bolt but I'd be surprised if a hardware
store will have one (they're not common).

You'll need to find a place that specializes in fasteners (a fancy name
for nuts and bolts and other threaded things). Print out that picture
from Unicycle.com and they'll know what you need. The thing that's
special about the bolt is the little tab under the head that keeps the
bolt from spinning when it's tightened up.

Its basically the same quick release that I have on my MTB and other
family bikes, Coker, the Schwinn Giraffe, etc. I haven't had a any
problems with the good ones. There are some types that are built cheap
and they have failed.

I just go to Recycled Cycles and look through their bin of used clamps
until I find one I like.
