No idea what they are like in terms of performance - but Sigmasport had one on a Ti Seven bike at the cycleshow and it looked sublime - at first I expressed suprise that Seven had made a frame with an integrated headset until one of the Sigma boys pointed it out to me.

Just fitted one to my new 5-Spot, primarily because of the very low stack height and not having enough steerer to use my old C K. They are quite dainty looking, but seem pretty well put together. They look nice, and unlike C K use a proper split-ring rather than an o-ring so shouldn't wear a groove into the steerer. I did find it quite tricky to fit and required the purchase of a proper headset press rather than my DIY jobby that seemed to work for all other headsets I've fitted! Just bought another one off ebay.

I've been using a CB SL Directset on my RFX for over 6 months with no problems (so far) and no markings.

I've also just fitted the SL version to my new 5 spot, but the Talas adjuster hits the frame 🙁 so I swapping it out, if you're interested £47 posted?
