1inch Headset recommendations?
I need an inexpensive 1inch headset for my forthcoming build. What can you recommend for me?

In all honesty they probably all work fine. I'm using the basic model FSA 1", caged ball bearing, threadless headset and I can't fault it at all. Integrated headsets used to annoy me but this is a press in cup type just like we all used to use and its been flawless.

I have used both the Ritchy WCS and Cane Creek S-2 1" threadless headsets recently. They can often be found on sale and are as nice as you could want.

I have a Cane Creek and a BBB that are both fine
I wanna know where you got the 1" fork.
I assume it came with the frame
They're getting harder and harder to find down here

I assume it came with the frameI had been at the Cane Creek S2 and FSA. I'm going to be moving over an FSA seatpost from my Lemond and was thinking about matching a stem to go with it. What is a good price to pay for the Cane Creek on eBay?

If you are willing to wait just a little bit, I am currently trying to replace a FSA 1" threadless and a Cane Creek 1" threadless on 2 of my bikes for some used Chris King bling. If you send me a PM, I would be more than happy to contact you and give one of them to you when it occurs for shipping cost only. Only hangup is that there is no exact date for completion of the project, as with all my vanity projects.
