I think they have, but it's kind of lower profile than those I've seen previously and the rubber bit..?
What say STW?

Looks like a Cane Creek crown race, the rubber bit is a seal

just slide your one on top? or be carful prising the old one off, it comes off easy after you have loosened it a bit, but its easy to chip the paint work

What headset have you got to fit? Quite good compatability with the cane creeks, they also fit Hope, some FSAs, a few others.

I'd be more worried about the steerer being araldited together ๐Ÿ˜‰

(while we're on, do headsets come with a crown race ?)

I think I have an FSA, bought it a while ago though. Be useful not to have to remove it, what with all that fragile carbon round there..

Oi! Don't say that! I bought these cos I was worried about my carbon steerered ones..!

[edit] It's a Ritchey Comp headset

Update! It's nice to follow up on these things...

Crown race was compatible with my Ritchey headset and the steerer was the right length. Easy 20 min job.
(That never happens. Must've been down to [i]that storm[/i].)

Nasty looking crack in the bottom pic

I think they're faux wood panels, so it's not a crack?

Certainly an interesting stain, gravy?
