If I was in the market for a new non-droppy post and rode an english made bike this would be a fantastic bit of kit!
Might be considered a bit tarty, but I think it’s pretty sweet.

does it come in ti?

nice hideous

FTFY. 🙂

it looks like a stick of rock from Blackpool

I did consider one for my new build. But the colours don’t really go, would look mint on a white frame IMHO

Nice – Union JackFlag special edition Thompson Post

😉

The side they have photo’d looks Ok, the other looks crap as the flag doesn’t go all the way round

Good work, fellow pedant, Shep! 😉

Never mind that, where’s the bars!
I’ve heard they’re going to be looking into making a dropper post…sales of their normal one’s must be falling.

Gopping.

^ Predictable from the resident spain fanboy….. tis beautiful, WANT!

I want one for my white painted Orange. But I wouldn’t want to spoil it so it would have to stay on the mantelpiece.

Do they do a matching stem?

Bless you my child.
Why would I want one? There is nothing to do with my flag and I find there is a certain small minded attitude that goes hand in hand with the flag that I don’t particularly like either.
If they did something like this, I’d be interested.

What do you reckon?

Gopping.

That is a myth: The Admiralty decided in 1902 that is was acceptable to use either, regardless of the location.

Yuck.

Fanboys will of course swarm.

well pedants aside I thought it was quite cool.
I too have heard Thompson are making a dropper post, there was even a page put up by accident I believe on their website a while ago, anyone heard any more about this?

There’s a certain small mindedness that goes with some people and most flags; Wales is no different either. It’s the people, not the flag.

It’s the people, not the flag.

Completely agree and you can see a dramatic change from BNP/EDF association to the Jubilee celebrations and the Olympics.
I just don’t like it and think it’s, well, gopping.
EDIT: I went to uni with a few Welsh Nationalist and thought their views were a bit extreme, just a bit mind. 😉

was very tempted to buy one for my BRG scandal 29er. Merlin are the cheapest i have seen for all sizes

Shep – looks like it will be cable actuated from the side, not fully hydraulic, nice machining by the looks of it. May be one to watch out for

That’s bowfin I’m afraid. Like a garish stalk of rock, or maybe one of those cheap phone covers you’d buy in a Pound Shop…

I reckon there’s a stronger association to small mindedness with the flag you posted personally.

and he is not just saying that to be provocative he means it RIGHT

Its quite Ugly and the flag design does not work IMHO

I reckon there’s a stronger association to small mindedness with the flag you posted personally.

Which of course is fine, and the comment of “gopping” when I introduce my range of Welsh components will be accepted without comment from me. 😉

Good work, fellow pedant

Respectfully, there’s no point worrying about the flag when you are happy to let the ‘P’ sneak in…

I was fondling one of those Union jackflag posts in my LBS the other day,they look much nicer in the flesh than in that pic, very pimpy and very well finished!
I wouldn’t buy one cos I’m too tight..but..I bet they sell em all….

The pendentry on this thread alone reminds why I find STW so exasperating most of the time…

Is this not just a stop-gap for those too repressed to get a tattoo on their Johnson?

Aye, why not go for the full English and see if you can get THOMSON to put a P in their name 😉

Yuk.

I went to uni with a few Welsh Nationalist

Unrelated to the OP but my cousin is a borderline Welsh nationalist. Which is odd considering he was born in Boston, Lincs, raised in Southampton and only moved to Wales as an adult.

I think it’s badass, but doesn’t got with my black, grey or white colour schemes. maybe if they did a monochrome version. mmmmmmmmm.

Too many crosses on that one. Just needs the one red cross on a white background for me.
There should also be a saltire version.

Obviously not for everyone and not for every bike but I got sucked up in the Olympic spirit/marketing. I think it works on my old steel silver p7:

Dear mr Thomson
Could you make me a post like that one (points above) but in gloss/matt black please. and in 30.9mm:-)

pretty please
paul

^^^^ that P7 looks rather nice with that I think!

So why open the thread when you know what it was all about? To whinge and complain and make a point to try and make yourself look clever/superior. That’s why.

You do realise the Union Jack represents Wales as well, don’t you? As in UNION…..

Phhhhhhhhhhhh
