I need 2 and I can;t seem to find them anywhere....

go to your lbs. they still make them. tell them you need a seat clamp bolt with 2 allen heads on it they will know what you need. alot of bikes dont use a seat clamp ,they are made into the frame and the bolt set they use has the recessed allen bolts you need

you can order a bag of 5 from alfred E bike if your local BS doesn't have any. the seatpost bolt that ricky d is talking about that my local bike shop carried had a notch on it and was useless unless I ground the notch off. I don't know if all the seatpost bolts are supposed to be like that though.
Ricky D
the notch grinds off easily, and they are the correct thread for brakes. i'm sorry i should have mentioned that a little prep would be required. i had to do that because i could not find any of the originals.

Forget bike shops, just go to Lowe's or Home Depot. They have drawers and drawers full of every kind of nut you can imagine. I bought a bunch there awhile back extremely cheap. It's a standard part, so any store that sells hardware should have or be able to get them.

Thanks Furious, I think you're right. I got chrome end bolts there for my Group 1 cranks.
