I’ll let you know when I receive them. The guy still has to make them and ship them to me. He sent the photo to me to get my approval before making them. The one on the left is the original.

Livernose this is rockin! I’ve got my cash at the ready so just let me know when to send.Also: What needs to happen to get some made in blue?
The guy has the artwork now, so he advised he can make more, but the price will be more than the ones we’re getting now. I think they are $16 each, but not sure.

Well it all sounds good. Marginal price increase makes no difference to me, so however it works out easiest, and definitely still in for multiples of each color.I don’t think Schwinn made them in blue, but it’d look great as a finishing touch on a bass boat.

[b]I have you down for 2 black and 2 red caps. The blue would be cool and I was thinking original colors not blue ones when I compiled the order, even though I have 5 blue HGs in the family[/b][b]. I think the artwork is pretty darn close if not exactly like the originals. I am curious to see how close the red color is to the original red color. It’s good the guy has the artwork now because you can order singles from him in any color.[/b]

I agree. I couldn’t tell the difference between the original and the reproduction. I agree that getting other colors would look pretty bad ass.
99 Homegrown 4-banger all mountain
I would love to be able to source some of the original style seat post clamps and find someone to laser etch the little tomato on them.
I don’t have a single one of these in my collection. They must have made these during the later Homegrown years, when I had gotten out of collecting.
I believe they came on the 2000 and 2001, but not sure. My wifes 98 HG Pro came with one just like the pictured clamp but without the tomato. John might know what years they came on. I can tell you there were 2 slightly different sizes. I have an 01 Limited, and my son has an 01 black anodized Factory and those clamps were slightly smaller than the HGs with the painted frames. I know that because an 01 Rocket 88 frame I bought came with a tomato clamp and it was ever so slightly larger in clamp size than the one I finally found for my gold anodized Limited frame. I put it on my Limited frame and tightened the clamp all the way and it didn’t clamp the seat post securely. I found a guy on this site that had a tomato clamp that was slightly too tight for his painted frame and we ended up swapping and it worked out for both of us.
