I don't have pictures of the bar end caps or any extra pictures of the saddle seat post clamp or the seat tube/seat post area. I have talked about how I don't use a seatpost clamp on the seat tube a few times in the past. For over 10 years on my road bikes, I just use a little extra clear coat on the bottom part of the post where it is inserted so that it really fits tight, and then a little extra just around the area where the seat post and seat tube meet after the seat post is in. I don't even use carbogrip or anything as I have never had a post slip down. I use a small nylon or aluminum screw/bolt inserted where the seat tubes cutout slot/hole is. Drill a little hole in the post, tap threads or not, screw in the little bolt and your all set. I have never had a problem with the seat post moving in the seat tube, and that includes many, many miles on rough roads.
