I am about to be given a six13 frame and forks and need to get a clamp on front mech for it.

Anyone know what size clamp I'll need?

Cheers

JD

    Depends on seatpost size - fortunately there are only 3 sizes:
    For a 31.6mm post it will generally be 34.8/35mm
    For a 27.2mm post it would be 31.8/32mm
    28.4mm clamps are only used for steel frames
    You could always use a seperate band-on adaptor and then fit a braze-on mech:

    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Cheers Monty Dog. Problem solved, it's 34.9/35mm. I've just bought a band on adaptor to fit too.
