I'm heading towards Thomson guys, I have got NP on my AM bike and it suits it but as you say would it suit a thin framed steel bike???? Probably not?
Thomson or Nukeproof finishing kit??

Think I might be wrong on the weights too... 
Sure their stuff came in pretty light - maybe it was just comparatively light for the big bike!

That's what I don't like about Thomson either, too chunky on nice steel
What about a lovely, lightweight Ritchey 4-axis? Beautiful XC kit

Isn't Ritchey a little more roadie type stuff, i just don't really get Ritchey stuff, It would suit a Touring type bike, or a mountain bike with road tyres on if you know what i mean.

Eek!
The Daddy of MTB? Only good for touring or roadie stuff? The higher end stuff is beautiful, lightweight XC jewelry, Thomson looks so crude in comparison.

Joking aside (sorry Edd!) I like the NP stuff a lot, very solid, I think maybe a little lighter and much better looking in my eyes. I find Thomson too 'blocky', although on a modern frame I guess that's less apparent. Bloody good stuff though, no argument over that!
Cheeky! :evil:
Went off NP when giant-one got a seat post and claimed it was as good as a Thomson. Two rides later it looked worse then my 4 year old Thomson. Case closed for me
