Pink Thomson Post

[fexnix]

I´m dreaming about a carbon/thompson seat set-up and I found this pic of a pink thompson seatpost.

Does anyone know where I can get one?

The picture shows their new Elite series stems so the picture is new (not something old from years ago). That is not one of their standard colors (silver or black). It may be a one-off thing done by the person who took the picture. It may be some sort of after market coloring applied to the silver parts.

Email Thomson (http://www.lhthomson.com/contact.htm) and ask them if they made the parts in that color or if they know who or where it can be done.

Thomson seems to have changed the design of some of their stems. Many have an entirely new clamping system for steerer tubes.

Anyways, they are aluminum parts. They are not chromed, they are anodized. Meaning the black ones are anodized then clearcoated and the silver ones are polished and clearcoated. Then the logos are etched on with a laser. So either Thomson ran a batch of components and had some anodized pink or the picture is of counterfeit parts. Thomson has been having problems with people selling copies of their parts on ebay and out of Asia.

They were made specifically for speedgoat.com. You can see more about them halfway down this page (unicycle article also on the page!) http://www.speedgoat.com/blog.asp

Looks like speedgoat is assembling a pink bike of some sort. Is is breast cancer awareness month already!?


Edit: You can't get them.

Ah, thanks for the sleuthing. I was getting curious. Shame on happymtb.org for stealing the picture from the Speedgoat blog and not including an explanation.

I also like the "THINK BEFORE YOU THROW!" story on the blog. I read a similar story several years ago. A guy was on a club ride that happened to include a couple off duty police officers. Someone threw something at them while they were riding. The police officers radioed or called ahead and the offending car of idiots was nabbed by some on duty police officers just up the road. Instant gratification for the group. Apparently it is bad to assault a police officer even if they are off duty and you have no idea that they happen to be a police officer.

After reading that story I decided that it was a very good idea to always ride with an off duty police officer. Are there any police officers here who ride unicycles?

The sign of a true unicyclist: not knowing what a bike stem is:D

I was wondering the other day whether anyone has ever put a rack on a Coker, and now I see that it's been done. I'd love a Coker like that, to replace my commuting bike!

I'm not the first to put a rack and a trunk bag on a Coker.

It works OK but does affect the way the unicycle rides. For flat rides it's OK. But for rides with climbing I don't like it. It makes the unicycle feel sluggish on the climbs. You also have to exercise restraint when packing the trunk bag. It's easy to weigh it down too much by adding things like tools, water, camera, etc. It's better for lighter things like a jacket and food.

Right now I have removed the rack from the unicycle. I have also shortened the boom a little and removed the water bottle from the boom. The extra weight of the water bottle affected the handling of the unicycle when doing things like tight U turns. I have found that it is better to carry the weight on me in a hydration backpack than to pack the weight on the unicycle.

was that your uni ohhhh

Those were a one off set for a road bike that was given away as a prize. They were raising money for breast cancer research.
