1 inch Threadless Headset For Kilo TT?
I am building a Kilo TT (frame from Bike Island). I am now in search of a 1 inch threadless headset. Hopefully something affordable that does not totally suck. I would like it to be as close to a plain silver as possible. Any suggestions?

I went with the 1" aheadset threadless headset from bikeisland when i built up a kilo frame works fine but I dont think BI offers it in silver you might be able to find it somewhere else in silver

Crane Creek S2? I was just reading review and some people seem to love it, others not but that could be an installation issue. Also I just found this one but could not find much info or reviews about it:

just go to your nearest LBS and see what they have in stock for ~$20.

On my Kilo TT I have a 1" Cane Creek S2 and got a 1" to 1 1/8 stem adapter so I can run any normal mtb stem. You need a 1 1/8" top cap though which I got on ebay

+1 Don't spend too much on a headset unless you sleep on piles of money.
