    Well yes, expensive but good. You can get them for £50 quid though: http://www.merlincycles.com/thomson-eli ... 47612.html Which I think is OK when you think its not far off that for something distinctly average which won't last as long.

    I've never worn out a seatpost :wink:

    Thomson are nice, (I have one). But truth be told it was more about vanity than performance. And they're not particularly light, though they are strong.

    I'd ask the OP - why do you need a new post? Better ways to spend £50 than on a new post. Depends on the rest of the bike as to whether it's 'value'


    I've had to chuck 1 because it srtated to become loose at the head (after a fair bit of usage) & snapped another one. Both alu cheapies that came with the bike. I know someone else who snapped a seatpost whilst riding & ended up in hosptial as a result. Perhaps this has shaped my attitudes towards the whole thing...
