Alpha Q Carbon Seatpost???

Yes, I use one. It's a bit heavy for a carbon post but has enhanced the ride qualities on my bike, though I don't have much of a seatpost extension. As for the Thomson, it doesn't get much stiffer than machined aluminum with a rib running along the center of the post...of course, I've had many customers that swear by their posts.
Oh, and I don't care for the Thomson's means of adjustability, though some people seem to like it.
roadbikereview.com should be your friend when searching for product reviews.

Gracias. Sounds like it makes for a good plan-B post if shelling out $200 for a "high-end" carbon post isn't your thing. It's definitely not mine. Yeah, I checked roadbikereview.com and they had peep on the seatpost, leading me to ask just what was the scoop on this mystery post. Again, thanks for your recomendation

It is a 200 gram post. not too bad they have only made them for a bout a year.
