So, my seat post bolt snapped about a mile away from work this morning. I was hoping to find a replacement for the ride home but neither Evans or bespoke stock. Any suggestions please?

Heh, seen that before. Will be ten miles for me and as it's along a canal the condition will be similar. Possibly the speed too....FCN 9 || FCN 50 -
Is it just the bolt then? You might be best off looking for a hardware store.
Did the bike shops not try and sell you the entire collar? They shouldn't be that expensive. I had to go to the Giant store to get one for my TCR recently but that was a funny aero shaped one.0 -
Collar? The post is one piece. No hardware ships around here that I'm award of. If I get out early there's a prior bind tinkerer along the less canal I'll try after a free miles of standing.Is it just the bolt then? You might be best off looking for a hardware store.

Hang on - what broke?Collar? The post is one piece.
Are we not talking about the thing that you tighten to stop the seatpost from slipping?
Or the bolt that tightens the clamps holding the rails on the post?
Would suggest Giant in Docklands though0 -
Is my terminology off?:) the bolt that holds the seat rails in place.
I'll have a look for the giant shop. Not come across it yet.
Thanks.FCN 9 || FCN 50 -
