Bolted Seatclamp

I know it's not really something most people think about but I don't like the look on my current Fun Work's clamp on my Mega, it's huge and heavy.
I know I won't notice the weight saving but if I can I'd like to replace it with something nicer. Looking at the Planet X Superlight MK2, looks to be the same as the Fun Work's N-Light. Anyone have any experience of it? I'm a big guy so I still need it to work as a seatclamp but it does look nice and is pretty cheap.
I would go for a Hope but the alloy bolt is a no no for me and I don't like the look of the Superstar Balance, sticks out horribly at the back.
If anyone has any other suggestions then please list them. Only requirements are 34.9mm in size, either a steel or titanium bolt, under £15 and has to be red.

I've already looked through CRC several times. Two of those are QR, one's the Hope I've already said is out, the Straitline is over budget and I don't like the Deity.0

The Planet X I linked is only £10. The cheaper ones are only available in black.0 -

Not a fan of the Salsa's looks and it's the upper end of my budget.0

That doesn't look so bad actually, that's put on the maybe pile along with the Planet X.0 -

Look on xc racer they have a range of super light ones in different colours. Can't remember price.0

I've gone for the Planet X. I needed a cheap post as well so buying them both meant I got free postage. Hopefully it should be alright, it'll save nearly 30g over the Fun Works which for a seat clamp is a lot.0

That is a lot, I only saved that on a QR one, my heaviest bolted I ever had I could only have saved 20g in max by going for one of the super lightweight 10g jobbies!peter413 wrote:I've gone for the Planet X.

It is a lot indeed. Current one weighs 38g on my scales and the Planet X is meant to weigh 11g so 27g saving if the Plant X is as light as quoted.0

How on earth did they make a bolted that heavy, I've had basic QRs only 2g heavier, I now run a KCNC QR which is 21g.peter413 wrote:It is a lot indeed.
