pete-<< I have a Campy Chorus threaded headset which is approximately three
years old. >><BR><BR>

On a well prepped headtube and with normal overhauls, and good adjustment,
almost forever. I have a HS on my fixie from 1986...still smooth.

Same headset with the abuility to inject grease into the lower cup-If you want
maintenence free-look at CK...but still need a good adjustment and prepped
headtube.

The lettering of the Chris King headset in silver is barely visable.

I don't derive my self-worth from the sum total of my material
possessions (otherwise my ti frame would identify itself as such). I
try to avoid being a billboard - it isn't until this year that I got a
jersey with more than one color and any text other than the
manufacturer's name.

I already have Thomson, Salsa, Campy, Paramount, Mavic, yada, yada,
yada all over my bike. It's not one prominently displayed brand name
but the collective weight of brand names - one more and I should be
compensated for the advertising space.
