Iwan Kemp Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Surprised to see this bit of news have gone fairly unnoticed on The Hub (Maybe it's just me!) http://www.bikerumor.com/2012/06/18/thomson-titanium-carbon-fiber-handlebars-coming-september-for-road-mountain-bikes/
splat Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Dabbling in carbon, I see Some flat bars would be really nice and match my stem, top cap, seatpost and clamp nicely
droo Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Ish,prices is heavy Not too serious on the carbon stuff, $130 for a bar is pretty decent if you consider that they charge up to R2600 for an alu seatpost. It is Thomson, after all. Really looking forward to seeing what they come up with on the dropper post though, even if I don't want to know the price...
ichnusa Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Plus one splat... my trusty Easton bar will have to go...
G-Unit Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Wonder if they'll do a carbon stem as well? A full Thomson carbon cockpit will do nicely for Christmas! Edited June 26, 2012 by G-Unit
petatodd Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Looks like dropper post is some way away still, breaking us in gently on the price....
droo Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Looks like dropper post is some way away still, breaking us in gently on the price.... $130 carbon bars being the marketing equivalent of vaseline...
splat Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 They are getting closer: http://www.bikerumor.com/2012/10/08/first-look-thomson-cyclocross-all-mountain-dh-handlebars-unboxed-weighed/
G-Unit Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Hurry up Thomson! Christmas is coming... I NEED that bar!
Hairy Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 They are getting closer: http://www.bikerumor...nboxed-weighed/ LOL ... that is 211grams lighter than the bars currently on my Shova ... I would love a pair of those!
