I hear you. But in this case there is no reason to service the fork/headset per se, they are in great shape and will be for a long time. Problem is just that damn buzzing noise in the top tube. I'm going to give it another few rides but good chance I'll put this frame set on Ebay in the not so distant future. Besides the noise, this frame is (not surprisingly) harsher than I like. But it is crazy light and fast and sweet looking. This bike in stock form weighs around 16 1/2 lbs with all metal except carbon fork.
