Probably showing my ignorance but I've never heard of Thompson before. Very nice looking bike, love the integrated seatpost. Very cool 8)

I've never heard of them either. Nice bike though.

Thanks,

they are pretty much unknown in the UK having only started being imported last year.
Apparently they are well known on the continent and especially in Belgium where they are based.

Can't bring myself to take it out in this cold rain yet though, it won't be a pleasant ride and it'll never be as shiny again!

Nice looking bike.
Seen a few Thompson bikes in the Flanders sportive this year.
I think they are quite well known and popular in Belgium.
