I’m using an M-Part Elite Headset in mine.
Well thought through, well made, works perfectly, rebuildable. I ordered mine through my LBS (to help them out), and they were very impressed when it arrived.
A couple of pictures (showing a pretty sketchy gearing choice in both!).
‘Tis a fairly conservative build I ‘spose, but I like comfort and reliability – and it works too – this bike eats distance with no perceptible effort, even with me on it.
😉
I’m considering the longer trail forks and a little front rack for the winter (when I’ll carry a bit more stuff), and it’ll almost certainly get a triple too at some point.
Would I have another one if something happened to this one? …
Yeah, no question, it’s a great bike.
It get’s a lot of compliments too – (when they express any thoughts about it), people often mention the ‘great restoration job’ I’ve done on a classic ‘clubman’ frame of some sort, then go all surprised looking when I tell them it’s a current frame.
