Decent 30.0mm seatpost

I think you would find stripping a Thomson post a real PITA.

Super tough anodising and then the post is ribbed.

Wet and dry would risk making the post to small.

I spoke to Adrian about the sizing. I quoted Orange who shim the P7 seat tube frm 29.8 to 27.2. He went on to say that a shim didn't invalidate the warranty but it's about getting a shim with deep enough penetration into th ST.

I don't see there to be an issue. It's a premium frame get a premium post ;)

Silver and black posts can still be bought.

This is my worry. I am happy to try it if I get a Thomson for £16 but not if I am buying a new one at close to retail.

As per my first post, show me a premium post in silver and I'll buy it. ;)

....i only polished to about 5mm into the frame, the rest inside the frame was left black and lightly greased just to be sure of a perfect fit. But to be honest I would have gone for a new one if I had £79.99 to spend rather than my £20 limit ;)

Import taxes and crap exchange rates put me off buying anything from America. :(

Interesting. Doesn't look very silver though.

That's what I was thinking too. :cool:

The order is placed. ;) I just hope it is not an error on the site.

Thanks for all the help chaps. Appreciate it. :D

We are very sorry but there will be a slight delay with you order.

Unfortunately you ordered just as we were awaiting a restock, but we're still aiming to get the item to you soon: likely next week.

We apologise for the wait, do please get in touch if you have any questions.

Sounds more like a 'these posts are not in stock and since they don't make them anymore we have no chance of getting any' to me. :cry:

We will see, but perhaps the search continues. :x
 
Thats a real shame as i thought you had got lucky. Hate to say it mate, but I doubt if they can restock as its no longer made. :(
