What do you guys think? Any recomendations?

Nice post, very resonable price, lightweight...

Buy a Thompson.

this seems a little lighter than the raceface (which at the end of the day is what im trying to do, still have the stock Kona one with my blast deluxe) any good?

im hugely impressed with this one.

needed a long seatpost for my on one, so went with this in 400mm, noticed the other day that its got an eliptical bore, one piece construction, VERY easy to adjust and setup.

finish is really good too, shotpeen looks loverly

would buy another, probably over a thomson (which ive also got on another bike)

looks pretty solid but a lot heavier than the previous two.

I broke a Raceface post so have steered away from them. Thomson all the way for me.

Some say they are light which is good, but some are prone to snap etc etc...just seeing what other peoples opinions are...

Maybe buy secondhand from a bling whore with an upgrade fetish?
