Today I finished up the install of a new fork and headset.
The stock Bianchi fork was 28mm offset/78mm trail. This fork has a more reasonable 41mm offset/63mm trail and the bike seems to have much quicker steering based on a short ride around the cul de sac this evening. Daylight tomorrow will tell the full story.
It was my first headset install - took my time, measured twice and cut once and everything went really well. It's almost a shame to hide such a pretty fork behind a brake.

Cane Creek 110.Classic.EC30 threadless
The top is EC30/25.4/H16/K
The bottom is EC30/26/H12/K
Part number BAA0449x

I like the more austere look of it. Like you said, clean. They also make a 40 series which is a little less expensive.
CC has a fit finder at Headset Fit Finder | Cane Creek Cycling Components. Their customer service guys are great. I called several times and they answered my questions every time, very patient and helpful.
I also bought the adapters so that the headset press doesn't press on the outer edges of the cups.

Huge thanksgiving weekend planned. Have a couple of friends coming up for the weekend, so we're gonna hit all three mountains.
Hamilton Thursday, Mount Diablo, Friday, and Mt. Tamalpais Saturday.
Gonna be a lot of elevation gain.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone
(well somebody had too)
Today I plan to eat too much turkey and then go for the traditional "turkey burner" ride, which if I am honest is just a leisurely ride in the country.
Life is good.

Hey everyone - Chrome is having a site wide 25% off sale, including their sale items. It goes through Monday at midnight I believe. Messenger Bags & Laptop Bags | Footwear & Apparel | Chrome Industries no I don't work for them nor am I a shill. Just passing on a good deal. New SPD shoes ordered since they are on sale.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Today, I will be at work making some sick double time and a half. Unfortunately it is raining out so the car will see some duty.
