Yeah it's the 853 version from a few years back.
It's a Thomson seatpost, setback version. Had a bike fit and it was suggested that I was better being a bit further back over the BB.
I prefer it as it put me in a slightly less aggressive position. Tried to build this bike for comfort rather than outright speed.

853 version is really classy! Especially with those thin forks. Looks like that polish branded seatpost which I'll be using also has a little bit (0.5cm or so ) of setback. Yours should offer more I think. Being Thompson, it does look interesting, but really nice with that bend.
My version should look more to the modern side with that carbon fork, ergo-bars and racy tires.

Thank you for reply, that is nice to hear. Your bike looks great! Is this 853 version? Those sidewalls look lovely!
Could you tell more about that seat post please? I've been seeing similar posts with a setback, but not really sure in which cases exactly they could be best applied.
