I think Grant was referring to the fact that most modern bikes' headsets
have "disappeared" (been moved to inside the headtube) because of the
largeness of current frame "tubes". If it were even possible to put a
headtube for a 1" or 9/8" external headset on a bike with enormous tubes,
it would look completely absurd.
