Thanks to all who replied -- you've been very helpful. I noticed that among VO's offerings, some headsets are listed as having "sealed bearings", whereas others make no mention one way or the other.
Are sealed bearings the way to go? The one called Tange Levin at VO looks pretty dope, from a retro standpoint. But it makes no mention of the bearings, unlike the one named Falcon. That one also says JIS. What is that and how does it differ from the others that say ISO? For what it's worth, I'll be using it on a Masi Gran Corsa, which I believe was made in Italy in the late 1980s: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ Thanks, Aaron On Dec 5, 9:29 pm, rob markwardt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Someone on the CR list posted these Dura Ace headsets for sale > yesterday. > > http://sexyracebicycles.blogspot.com/search?q= > > On Dec 5, 6:44 pm, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > I could have sworn last week that QBP stopped listing Shimano headsets > > altogether.
