I love my CK headset and I don't care what anybody else thinks. I bought really expensive Ti CK cages for my Ti bike and I don't care if you notice or not. I like CK cause he makes free coffee and great food at local sponsored events, he's approachable and easy to talk to, he passes out nice stickers when he has them, and the design and engineering of his components is first rate.

When I bought my Moots, it was bling city - campy chorus group, ck headset, Thompson post and stem. It was a thing of beauty to me and I had no trouble convincing myself to buy it and I love it every single mile. The bling is for me and me alone. If you're nice, I'll let you have some too. The best thing about my bike is that it's so dirty now that only I can see the bling, and it still rewards with flawless miles.
