Bike porn

I wish i didnt google that name after reading your post

Chalk it up, the forum claims another innocent mind.

Had a chat with robin today.

His view is that the straight inline seatpost is a product of mountain biking, brought into road bikes via tt bikes.

Traditional road seatposts were all set back - clamp offset from the post itself.

The thomson clamp is actually in line with the post itself but the post is then bent to give it layback.

So effectively the thomson is a kinky inline post that ends up giving a similar position to a traditional straight post where the clamp is offset.

So... just use a standard seatpost?
