it's probably real..but who cares? rare is right because they claim they don't do anything other than silver and black. i am sure they can anodize to any color for fun though.

The clamp looks thomson-esque. To the best of my knowledge there is not another company that has copied that design.

That is an odd size for a seatpost though.

Yes, it is a genuine Thomson.
I remember a few years ago they made a limited run of them in "Kelly Green" for the Kelly bikes company. They were available through the big wholesaler that does Kelly.
Size is probably only for a Kelly.
