The Thomson Masterpiece Seatpost is not for everyone. Thomson wanted to create the best seatpost possible without regard to cost. The serious cyclist will want to own the Thomson Masterpiece Seatpost. Masterpiece posts weigh approximately 40 grams less than the same size Elite post. This weight reduction is accomplished while maintaining the strength and durability expected of a Thomson Seatpost. Thomson accomplishes this weight reduction by machining the seatpost all over; including the oval inner diameter. We are able to hold closer tolerances by machining than by extrusion alone. Machining all over an already beautiful design makes the Masterpiece Seatpost a work of art.The tube and head of the Thomson Masterpiece seatpost is integral-machined from one single piece of high strength 7000 series aluminum. The head is not pressed or bonded in. This allows for superior strength and minimum weight allowing higher strength at low weights. Natural ellipse bore inside tube for optimum strength to weight ratio.The Thomson Masterpiece seatpost design incorporates a bending fuse to prevent catastrophic failure. All competitive seatposts we tested failed catastrophically with the seat and clamp components and sometimes pieces of the tube and head flying off in all directions. Every component of the Masterpiece seatpost is 100 percent American made. This includes all fasteners and forgings.
Titanium is a wonderful material for a handlebar. Not as light as carbon but for a little weight you get an unparralled ride. Strength and beauty count for something as well. This bar will look good and ride well on your bike for years. Built for 31.8mm stems, no shims are used for clamping the Thomson Titanium bar. The very best bar you can buy for a rigid MTB
Great looks, great clamping, long life and no squeaking. The perfect addition to your Thomson Cockpit.Thomson is famous for their strong, reliable and lightweight stems and seatposts. The new Thomson Seat Clamp uses a carbon seat post friendly design with a Spherical bolt, washer and barrel nut which allows float on both sides of the slit giving better clamping force. Availble in Black or Silver in a variety of sizes.The Thomson Seatpost Collar has several features that make it distinct.The collar utilizes the Thomson Seatpost bolt, washer and barrel nut combination that has proven to be strong over the years. This fastener combination allows float on both sides of the collar slot ensuring consistent clamping force.The bolt hole angle, height of the collar and offset slot all help create a collar that generates maximum clamping force at only 25 inch pounds of fastener torque.Great looks, great clamping, long life and no squeaking.The perfect addition to your Thomson Cockpit..
New in 2012 for Thomson the Direct Mount Stem allows riders the ultimate in stiffness for dual crown cockpits. The strongest stem we make, which means it’s the strongest stem you can get. Built for the Boxxer and any fork using the Boxxer bolt patternMotorcycle Style, Thomson Strength and attention to detail. Light weight and a dropped bar position. The 50mm Direct Mount puts the handlebar 10mm lower than a standard stem, and lower than an adjustable direct mount design as well. Our 40mm Direct Mount has a 30 degree rise. The crown in the picture is for display purposes and is not included with the stem
Thomsons road bar features a mild wing shape on top, clamping area wide enough for aero bars, mid-compact reach and drop. This is the modern bar for the modern road bike. Monococque construction for safety and comfort. Thomsons Road bar wing section is small enough not to restrict hand movement when riding on the top and allows bar angle adjustment with out locking out your wrists. Shaping on the bottom side of the wing allows housing to be taped out of the way without the use of narrow housing channels or internal routing, both of which shorten bar life Layup uses 3 different fiber types with different tensile strengths and tensile modulus, including High Strength carbon fiber. This helps allocate stiffness and flex where needed. All carbon fiber is produced by Toray and uses tailor made Nano Epoxy Resin for very high impact resistance. Toray is the main supplier of carbon fiber for Boeing and Airbus. The Bars are molded over an EPS mandrel to avoid wrinkles inside the layup during molding. Most other bars are molded over inflatable nylon bladders
Stem top cap made by Thomson.Matches our CNC feed lines from our seat posts and stem bodies.
The Masterpiece is over 40% stronger on ultimate strength tests than the strongest production seatposts on the market. Masterpiece posts weigh approximately 40g less than the same size Elite post.

The head is not pressed or bonded in, allowing for superior strength and minimum weight. We have a long 1.614 inch (41mm) seat rail grip length. This helps prevent seat rail bending from impact loads. Most other seatposts have grip lengths of at least 0.5 inches shorter than our grip length.The Thomson Masterpiece seatpost design incorporates a bending fuse to prevent catastrophic failure. All competitive seatposts we tested failed catastrophically with the seat and clamp components, sometimes pieces of the tube and head flew off in all directions.The Thomson Masterpiece seatpost has a clamp, head, and upper tube strong enough to withstand 325 foot-lbs of torque. The tube will start to yield and bend at the seat tube clamp at about 230 foot-lbs of torque. Under severe impact the Thomson Masterpiece seatpost will bend slightly but allow the rider to come to a stop or continue the ride.The Masterpiece seatpost has all parts captive and can easily be attached to a seat without dis-assembly. Very low profile clamps means no seat interference as the swivel nuts are down between the seat rails. The designs and materials have passed extensive life and ultimate strength tests. Our ongoing testing program ensures that every production lot of seatposts meets Thomson standards.
