Ritchey or Thomson

[awesme]

Plan is Carbon Bars, Alu Stem and Carbon Seat Post.

 

I'm leaning towards Ritchey.

In terms of Stems and Posts, esp for MTB'ing, the is no question, Thompson engineering and finish is by far superior.

 

Easton Haven Carbon Bar and Carbon Post, Haven Alu Stem - that's the way to go i.m.h.o

Hi V

 

I want to keep the 3 items the same, so that implies Thomson rather then...

 

So I'm looking at:

 

Option #1

Stem: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=8570 +http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=76069 (Red)

 

Handle Bars:(HB-E102): http://bikethomson.com/thomsonhandlebars/mtb/

 

Seat Post:(SP-M106): http://bikethomson.com/seatposts/masterpiece/

 

Option #2

Stem: http://www.ritcheylogic.com/dyn_prodfamily.php?k=599985

 

Handle Bars: http://www.ritcheylogic.com/dyn_prodfamily.php?k=599985

 

Seat Post: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=74062

 

 

My Bar caps (http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=147) and seat post clamp's going to be Hope, Red (will match nicely with my Hope Evo2 Hubs): Hope Seat Clamp & Bolt - 31.8mm

Just need to find out what size clamp I need.

I'll +1 what the V said, Thompson Seatpost, Stem and Easton bars

Wait, I change ITM to 3TTT

You can keep ALL items the same and get the HAVEN CARBON BARS + HAVEN CARBOB POST, and THEN THE HAVEN ALU STEM..... dude, just get this... it's the best...

 

The 2nd best option is the THOMPSON Seat Clamp, Thompson Stem, Thompson Post and Haven carbon bars....

Ritchey. The stem clamp is better for carbon bars.
