Thomson Handlebars

So just found out Thomson now makes handlebars as well.
They'll be for sale on September the 1st

Can't wait to see the first full Thomson Cockpits and I'm really curious about them. Anyone planning on buying one soon?

cheers

I find Thomson revolting.

Me too.

Why carbon though? Alu would be a better match to the seat posts and bars :(

Great, hope they bring out some risers with a bit more rise

I actually like the look of the "flat" risers, the front end of most bikes with 120 -150 mm forks is bit too high for my taste as it is. I'm using risers more for the "bend" than for the "rise", so to speak.

Because they're being made in Taiwan ..

Not sure where to raise this so resurrecting this thread about Thomson.

Has anyone bought direct from them? I ordered some bars over a month ago, got confirmation, and another email that looks like a despatch but without any tracking information. Multiple emails later and still no response and definitely no bars. Help!

Direct from Thomson or the Thomson distro for the uk, iRide is it?

If the latter, my experience of dealing with them when I owned a Thomson dropper is that they are definitely not in a hurry to do anything.

The former...I just had an email 28th of March saying my order was complete, but no shipping info. It'll be coming from France, right!

Why would it come from France?

They are an American company.

True dat. Either way I'm close to getting my money back from my credit card company. Complete joke.
