Silver Thomson To Match Ti Frame?
 

Hey All,

Going To Be Upgrading The Seatpost And Wanted To Go With A Thomson. The Bike Is A Litespeed Ultimate (1999) With A Carbon Ritchey Stem. Anyone Have A Photo Of A Ti Bike With A Silver Thomson? Does It Match Close Enough Or Should I Go With A Black Seatpost? Cheers.

Go with black.

agreed. It won't match. I have a black one in my TI frame. I am not a stickler on looks but that one would probably bother me ;)

Theres got to be a market for Al seatposts that are anodized the color of Ti

Or you could just buy a Ti seatpost :D

I have some silver parts on my ti bike and I can tell you they don't match. I also don't care, as the parts are hard enough to find in any color. It's a tool, not a jewel, but if you have the choice, black will look best.

Yeah Right, If Only I Could Afford One Of The Eriksens!

True, but some Ti posts weigh more than Al posts and are, of course, much more expensive.

Go to their web site lhthomson.com

Q - What colors are Thomson seatposts available in?
A - Black or Silver
(Certain sizes available in black only)

Doesn't match "perfectly" but I still think it looks great on mine. Have a Merlin frame with Silver Masterpiece. Really like it.

Deda grey/metal finish?

A silver seatpost is not going to match Ti, but it's going to coordinate, particularly if the bike has silvver aluminum components.

yeah, that does look great on your bike! Matches the CK headset and DA brakes well. Love the Merlin.

Get it anodized to match.

Duh.

;)

I have a silver Thomson Masterpiece and a silver X2 stem... I think they look good with the track cranks. Plus the black coating on the Thomson posts seem to scuff up during adjustment.

Either way, the important issue is that you actually get a Thomson. Best posts and stems around.
