One of My Favorite Headsets

Over the past few years, these Serotta track bikes have been floating around NYC due to them being sold at various swaps in the area. Serotta made these frames for the junior track league at T-Town and they came equipped, full Mavic Pista with my favorite headsets. While the tool is notoriously difficult to find, you can’t beat the aesthetic. It’s like a Campagnolo Contax model (Record, Chorus, C-Record) had a bastard lovechild with a Dura Ace 7200.

I’m still going through my photos from my Shop Visit to King Kog, where this was shot. Expect them to be posted shortly!

    I think at every veloswap, there is a guy selling like 10 of those, and they always sell out.  They ride Fujis now, just not the same, not the same at all…

    I saw a few of these at the philly bike expo for sale. really beautiful. maybe i’ll be able to pick one up someday if they float around the east coast.
