More recently regarded as some of the strongest best finished stems and posts out there. No age these days and a sad loss to the cycling World, wonder if this will affect production?

My idea of super bling is silver Thomson bits. R.I.P. old fella. Fancy leaving behind a name that's a euphamism for quality? Now that IS QUALITY.

To quote the Latin poet Horace*, "Exegi Monumentum Aere Perennius"
"I have built a monument more lasting than bronze"
Horace was referring to the fact that his poetry would outlast any statue. Perhaps Thomson as a brand and product is that monument.
