Nice choice of rig,

Most manufacturers make 30mm dia posts so it depends if you have a fave.
I'd reccomend Thompson though,

Nice and light, good n strong and rock solid in the tube.

I thank you Sir!
Went on to the Merlin site and picked up a 30.0mm 410mm in line Thomson post for £44.95. A good buy me thinks...

Nice one Tucano! 
Again, I don't know how Merlin do the prices unless they are knocking out de-constructed components, either way it making life richer for the rider.
Just wish the bloke was happier in his work!

Bloke who works in Merlin Cycles in Leyland Lancashire.
He's been in the shop each time I've visited with a gob on that makes me think he's lost a tenner and found a fiver.
Also tried to dodge having to replace a faulty item by saying it needed to go back to the manufacturer.
After a brief 'discussion' he saw my point of view and gave me a full refund.
I wouldn't use em if they weren't so cheap!
IMPORTANT!!!!
Mail order blokes are fine and provide a really great service!
It's just the personal touch that lets them down

Ive just bought a thompson elite from Merlin for £44 sheets. Couldn't believe the price, they must be making a loss as nobody else is anywhere near that price.
