Hi John
I will offer you £10 for the seat post. I appreciate that it is significantly blow your asking price however the seat post is actually a steel composite rather than the traditional aluminium that Thompson use. I hope you accept this offer and look forward to hearing from you.

Gregory

lmao at both posts.

you can get them new for 49.99 from planet x

Gregory is wrong as far as I'm aware. Thomson do not even manufacture steel seatposts.
Thanks for the heads up hovis, price drop to £35

hi john! if that is your real name
i am wondering if you will accept 88p, a rubber band and the 1st series of 2 and a half men?
yours sincerely,

     Will

Hi John.
I'm afraid you are incorrect, although not advertised Thompson use a steel aluminium and zinc composite for their cheapest model. I know this as I have worked for Thompson for a period of time

Their cheapest model being the elite?
Their website says it is made from "high strength 7000 series aluminium".
I believe Thomson

Oh no! Is this the beginning of a Thompson "steelgate"

Thompson use a composite of aluminium 45% steel 35% and zinc 20%. There is less than half aluminium but as it the largest percentage they just call it aluminium

Of course it's not pure aluminium Gregory, that would be WAY too soft on it's own (yep, I've done GCSE chemistry).
I'm afraid that these seatposts retail at £80, so I cannot accept £10.

Still available for £35

Mate, what the fuck have you been smoking, I want some.

At least your numbers add up. Steel aluminium alloy don't exist. And even if it does, thomson don't make seatposts out of it.

I will offer £15

I had a Thomson seatpost but it bent when I went over a pothole once.

^ I'll give you 10 pound for it

I'm afraid I can't accept either offer guys. Still looking for £35 for it, Elites usually sell for around 40- Like here --> http://www.lfgss.com/thread92908.html

You will not get £35. Are you a fuckwit

Go and make some bread hovis

I would love to, but my 45% steel 35% alloy seatpost turned into impossiblness and disintegrated on my way to the yeast shop.

Still available for £35

That is a shame bread man

I'm quite jetlagged. But... what the fuck is this?
