Why do so many bike builders fall back on Thomson seatposts/stems?
They seem to love them for their galleries (been looking at framebuilders on https://theframebuilders.com/list/)
They're ugly, overpriced and CNCed which makes them weaker than a proper forged stem.
Is it pandering to potential customers who see Thomson as quality?
