Talk about a bit of a departure from the norm! Thomson, a company who for years have made just a handful of components, have now decided to make this rather nice titanium hardtail. Well I say make, but they’ve actually just designed it and then got Lynskey to make it. That’s no bad thing though. These frames will only be available in very limited numbers and will be sold as a frame kit which includes a Thomson dropper post, seat clamp and stem, along with a Cane Creek headset…and I don’t think my ears were deceiving me, but I am sure I heard the words three and a half grand mentioned! Ouch.
