Since the moment I first layed eyes on a Storck bike I have always wanted one (you can check them out at www.storck-bicycle.de). The one I really like is the Scenario Carbon 1.1, but there is a drawback: to save 10 grams these guys constructed the bike in such a way that they left out the headset cups.
In their folder they actually write something like: why would you put an extra alloy cup in your headset if there is already such a cup in the frame itself?
Well, the answer is of course: now you can throw away your frame when the headset is worn, because you can't replace the cup; it's built-in in the frame...
Or can you? Does anybody have any experience with such a (worn) headset? Could you just fit in an extra cup anyway?
