Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Threaded headsets

What do you all like for threaded headsets. I'm building my gf's bike and am lacking only headset, stem and spokes. Needs to be 1" threaded, in silver or black. I'd like to not have to service it for years. Besides King, what are good options? Campy (matches group)?

The only Shimano part I have on my bike is a 600/Ultegra headset. It uses cartridge bearings that I change every other year- a 10 minute job, and it is relatively inexpensive.

Campy is good.
I like Stronglight, the best value needle bearing HS with replaceable steel bearing surfaces.
