 Why doesn't Thomson make a Carbon Fiber Seatpost?

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

Q - Are you going to add other colors in the near future? 
A - No, we are not planning to add new colors.

Q - How much lighter is the Masterpiece than the Thomson Elite?
A - A 27.2 x 330 Masterpiece weighs 193 grams, 30 grams lighter than the Elite and the 27.2 x 240mm Masterpiece weighs 158 grams.

Q - Is the Masterpiece strong enough to use on a Mountain Bike?
A - Masterpiece posts are only about 7% weaker than Elite posts, the only post stronger than the Masterpiece is the Thomson Elite.

Q - How many Masterpiece sizes are you planning on?
A - We offer 27.2 x 240 and 330, 30.9 x 350 and 31.6 x 350 Masterpiece posts. We have no plans for other sizes.

Q - Why would I buy a Masterpiece?
A - The Masterpiece is for the cyclist who wants the lightest weight seatpost but still wants the safety, strength and adjustability of a Thomson. We only know of 2 lighter posts and they are much weaker, harder on saddle rails, and not as adjustable as the Masterpiece. We happen to think the Masterpiece looks better as well.
