  • Another question, is there a rule about the seatpost and the stem being the same brand?

    And what do people think about Enve for stem and seatpost? Their prices seem a bit rich even for a vanity project...

    Am a fan of Thomson so will probably end up getting their stuff again... but it does get a bit boring...

  • is there a rule about the seatpost and the stem being the same brand?

    No, but there's no rule against it. On the other hand, your bars should be the same brand as your stem.

    Treat yourself to something better. Treat somebody else to dinner with the money you save.

  • is there a rule about the seatpost and the stem being the same brand?

    Yes. The default rule is your stem and seat post should match - definitely aesthetically, ideally by brand.

    Enve seatposts are meant to be good, but the stems look gash and aren't worth it. So they are not an option. You're right Thomson are boring and their road stems are ugly.

  • is there a rule about the seatpost and the stem being the same brand?

    No but its nice to keep things matchy

    The seatposts look nice but the stems look terrible. Enve finishing kit is a bit try hard imo.

    As you said, Thomson is boring. Its decent performance and weight wise but nothing groundbreaking.

    Zipp SL Speed
    Ritchey Superlogic
    Deda Superzero or superleggero
    Pro Vibe

    Just a few slightly less ordinary finishing kit sets out there which I like (the look of)
