It's really smooth, but I'm not quite sure what to make of plastic headsets. Well, a gram here and a gram there and pretty soon you've got an ounce.
edit: Seriously, that's a pretty looking bike with what appears to be a nice lugged frame.
It is indeed a strong light b10! I was really surprised to see a roller bearing headset when I originally picked the bike up, but apparently it was oem.
That's interesting that the cups snap right in. It must have made assembly much easier for the manufacturer. I would say over 30 years is pretty good longevity for a headset, even if the cups we're metal.
