I've been under the spell of the Thomson Dropper Post for a few months now, and so,
I couldn't resist the apparently excellent price and pulled
the trigger today - Amazon $330, no tax, free 2 day shipping.
That's less expensive than many of the competitors... hope she lives up to the hype... I can feel my center of gravity lowering already!

Just wanted to share the deal in case your significant other needs xmas gift ideas.
But - it did sound like bragging, huh?
:cheers:

Well, today was my first ride on the Thomson - verdict:

Saa-weeet!!! Met all my expectations... one ride, and I never wanna' go back.
Now, let's see how she holds-up for the long haul with my 225 lbs. of strapping manhood
pounding on 'er... (that's what he said!!)
