Chris King colour
Hey, I know this might sound like me being picky (which it is), but I'll ask anyways. I've got a blue 2nut chris king headset that I used on my white fixed gear for a while. I've ordered now a red cramerotti frame, and I'm not sure how the blue will look matched up with the red frame. I'm trying to go for a classic red and silver colour combination here, but with this blue headset, it might look goofy. It's in excellent condition, so I can't see getting another headset justifiable just for colours sake. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do (All I want is a silver headset!) and has this happened to you before?

Yeah bboysubhuman, I was thinking of oven cleaner, but I'm quite apprehesive about it, how would you protect the bare aluminum once you've cleaned off the anodizing?

You'd probably want to polish the headset after using the oven cleaner. Aluminum doesn't really need to be protected though, right? Aluminum oxidation isn't like iron oxidation(rust) in steel parts. It's more of a patina that can be polished out every once in a while.
