Strong well-designed seatpost. Got this for my vintage Trek set up along with a new saddle. Admittedly, a lot newer than the vintage gear on it, but the machining and look is great. This is obviously not some cheap throwaway, but a quality bit of machine shop work. Also, it needs to be functional, and this post has a terrific machined top that makes angle and lateral adjustment of the saddle a breeze. The one it replaces relied on a couple of set screws to push against all of the force of the rider in the saddle. Always managed to wiggle loose, and was never easy to tweak the saddle position. Not so here.

Refurbished my old Panasonic bike that had a 26.6mm seat tube. Not very common. Could only find a quality seatpost in that size from this maker. It cost a bit more than the others, but I think it was worth the money. It is much lighter than my old seatpost, it is made of high quality material, and it includes a numbered scale that allows you to set precisely the angle of the seat on the post. Well thought out design. Very pleased with the purchase.

I upgraded my stock seat post and i heard Thomson was the best and i heard right it is so light the seat and my seat post combined weigh less then my old seat post and it my seat doesn't slide and its so comfortable i would recommend this to anyone!

This seatpost is very supportive. I am a large sized rider and a stock seatpost just doesn't cut it. This piece was recommended to me by more than one bikeshop!

It is a Thompson. What more needs to be said. In this era of set back seat posts, this is a great alternative. Really improved my bike fit. The service from Amazon was great-the seat post arrived when they said it would. Very satisfied.

This is a very light seatpost and it seems to me to be the strongest I've ever seen, it's what you expect from a company that only does seatpost and stems

Thomson has an established reputation for quality bike parts especially seatposts and this model certainly represents it. Very rigid with absolutely no flex. I am a 190lb rider with camelback and gear and it rides very well. Clamping mechanism also is far superior to my old 1 bolt design. Use it with a wtb speed v seat.

This is not only light, built strong, looks great but adjust so easily. Remember the one bolt set up? This actually has a gage that will allow you to make micro adjustments. The post itself is slightly ribbed. It holds the finish well. Very happy with this post.

No better mountain bike post can be had in my opinion... Amazon is the best price I've seen on these anywhere, especially with prime shipping.

We bought this seat post as a present for my son. He told us the specifications so our shopping was easy. It arrived well-packaged, and fit exactly as intended on his bicycle. He is a rugged biker and this has held up, so it deserves the rating.
