Hi Leslie,
 Your post prompted me to go over all the bolts and QR clamps on my NWT
(Frame #113 built 10/19/1992).
When I flipped the bike upside down,  I discovered two very loose bolts at
the bottom bracket hinge joint.  Rummaged around and found a spare 4mm seat
clamp bolt, and put it in my bag.
I'd like to buy spares for the QR bolts on the stem riser and the seat mast
hinge.  Wonder if Green Gear still stocks them?
