****. This is so nice.
Side note. Why do all of your photos look so muted? I noticed the same thing with the night shot of the langster.

google "cracked thomson stem"....
it's more common that you'd think.
and regarding that seatpost....
"This is not an uncommon crack for a Thomson Elite. I have had the same thing happen and I cant say it was due to over tightening. I only seen them crack on the laser etched scale side and have never seen one crack on the opposite side. In my opinion the laser etching has caused a stress riser causing it to be the weakest link, design flaw."
