Wanted: Pali-link (tag-along) seatpost clamp... (and saddle)

Ok, got a peice of crap from halfords (nothing unusual there...) for a £5!

It's a tag along type bike, except it's missing the clamp to attach to the seat post (and the saddle, but that shouldn't be too hard to find)...

I know the chances of anyone here being old enough to conceive of children are slim, but maybe one of you who works in a bike shop may have the bits for one lying around? Or be able to point the way to getting more bits or something to bodge a replacement (bodge being a loose term considering a 5 year's life may be at stake...)

Done a search and nothing came up... so no flames if this has been discussed before :-)

have you tried asking halfords? (seems like two really important bits to leave out)

of course i assumed that the bike is meant to come with the afore-mentioned bits.

really for £5? are these available at any Halfords and are they roadworthy? if so might have to get one for my littluns

(guess there are more forum members with kids than you might have guessed! at least one more, anyway)

No, think pali-link might be discontinued... the one for £5 was missing bar grips, saddle, the clamp and had a bent crain-ring, hence being a fiver... think it had been used to scavenge parts to fix others...

Figured a bit of asking around or searching would find the parts we need (well only really need the clamp, the rest I've sorted out...) and would be a bargain (last listing I can find for one offers it at £89.99...)...

Next stop after here is CTC forum and free-cycle... failing that I'll have to bodge something...

Hi Louis
You up for the tag a long. My kids 4 and 7 both ride to school with me on and off road depending on the conditions. Always in front of me. My 4 year old did the Freewheel last year.
See you at polo.
Can you still take a picture of the ghost bike and post it up.
thanks.

Your picture is soooo much nicer than anything I can take?! Anyway, Will do... tonight... (although currently moving so might not be near internet till monday...)

Hmmm, kid is 5, but sounds less balanced than your 4 year old...

Did you see the pictures of my bent toptube? I won't be at polo till my new frame arrives and I get my polo wheel trued... might be wednesday, but I'm not sure...

Cheers.
