Anyone have any idea where to buy these? The purple one would look SO sexy on my Crown Jewel (blue to purple fade). This is the only non-black option in 28.6-sized seat collars I know of (besides the Thomson in silver).

Have you looked at the Salsa LipLock clamps? Wide variety of colors in all sizes and very high quality to boot.

I prefer the Salsa seat collar to the Phil Wood. The Salsa Lip-Lock has a rotating nut, removing a bending stress from the seat collar bolt. I've used the Lip-Locks for years and have never had any problems with them.

Not many colors but these are nice also:

I had one on a bike I sold recently. I took it off before the sale.

I've been very happy with the Hope Tech. Finish is really excellent, and full range of colors and sizes.

The Straitline clamps are also very nice. Made in Canada.

I almost recommended the same thing. Unfortunately, they don't do colors for the 28.6 size. Good product though.

I have also used a Hope clamp, and have had no problems with it. No purple option, but more colors than silver and black.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. Those of you who use 28.6 collars, like my Indy Fab, have you tried BMX-specific collars? 28.6 seems to be a common size for BMX, and since those guys started caring about bike weight over the last decade, there are bound to be some good options. One I saw was the Profile Slim Jim (which, coincidentally, comes in purple!). Thoughts?
