    How is that frame different it’s a Specialized. One of the most common makes out there.

    Look at the shape of the seatpost.

    It’s still a Specialized which unless it’s an S Works they are common as muck.

    That’s good news but we’re back to the seat clamp problem.

    So mug it off then - its just an old Specialised with no seat clamp or post.

    Am honestly struggling to see the obsession with it.

    The clamp is a wedge thing, but it's proprietary and no longer in production... if it's not part of the deal, walk off

    If you do a search for a replacement, the closest you can get is 199 Euros and "out of stock".

    yup, this as per my post above.

    try looking for a Soloist/S1 seat post. €260, no one makes an aftermarket.

    It went for £155 and it wasn’t me.

    To you, but I’m sure the buyer is happy.

    Until he or she realises they can't get the seat post wedge for an old Allez and then shift it on.

    Maybe they’ve got the part or have an idea where to get it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Maybe they own a machine shop and can make one.

    It’s definitely not a Sprint, @darrell1967 . I would look for something more generic - the seatpost and seatpost collar being missing would put me right off.

    Hackney Pedaler on Kingsland Road might have something that fits the bill. It’s a nice shop to have a mooch around as well. 👍🏼
