...Thomson posts are actually [i]designed [/i]to bend too - rather than fracture!

NC17 Empire Pro. Seriously strong post. Much cheaper than a Thomo (not as light though)

Control Tech? My old one has a centre rib to stiffen the post and stop bending fore-and-aft. Not sure if they still do that on the latest ones. Mine dates from '93, and is a bit short now for my current size frames, but good posts anyway.
