Thomson Elite Patent Seat Post - Lightweight & Durable Bicycle Seatpost for Road & Mountain Bikes - Perfect for Cycling Enthusiasts & Professional Riders

I purchased this seatpost for purely cosmetic reasons. The post that came on my bike was a cheesy carbon-wrapped aluminum post. It functioned perfectly, but I always felt that it dragged down the appearance of the bike. From that perspective, my new Thomson Elite post has made me happy.Functionally, the seatpost was noticably lighter than the one it replaced. To be completely fair, the Thomson was much shorter than my old one, but it is also machined down much more liberally. The fit and finish is superb. I found no flaws in the machine work and everything fit together exactly as it should. The saddle mount is of a two bolt design and seems very secure. It takes a little more time to adjust, but it's not difficult. Since installation, I have not had to touch the post for any reason.In a nutshell... Would I recommend this seatpost to everyone? Probably not. There are other seatposts that will do the same thing for much less. However, this is a great option if you're one that pays attention to detail and also happen to be in the market for a pretty light, pretty strong, aluminum post. And if you're not in a hurry, the prices fluctuate on Amazon so you can pick it up for a fair price.
