As some of you will know I was lucky enough to receive the gift of a Thompson Masterpiece seatpost recently.

Fitted it today - and very swish it is too. Am impressed with the adjustment (tilt especially) mechanism and overall looks a quality product.

The old one (a Ritchey Comp) had a tendency to slip sometimes despite cranking up the clamp silly-like. Am hoping the slight, 'ribbed for your pleasure', feeling of the Thompson will stop that.

The Masterpiece is also a whopping 110g lighter[1] than the Ritchey it replaces - niiiice!

Thanks all!

[1] As measured by myself - the claimed weights are 305g 'v' 193g.
