Thompson bikes

Brussels Sprout

I'm looking to get a bike with as much 105 on it as possible and I was talking the guy in one of my local shops who recommended this Belgian company. He recommended them over other name brands since they can do all 105 parts for €1279.

The thing is I can't find any reviews of any of their bikes on-line. So does anyone here know anything about them?

Here's a link to the detailed spec of the bike I was recommended.

Canyon for 999 euro has full 105 and arguably a lot more cred.

Do they only sell on-line? Ideally I want to use the bike to work scheme

Edit: Ok, it seems that they don't.

With the btw scheme I'd end up paying roughly €150 less in the end for the Thompson plus have the ability to get fitted up properly in the bike shop and return there if I've any problems.

a fair few in lucan club are riding these now with a few months, all positive feedback to date......only consideration is the resale value as not one of the big brand
