Chris King (www.chrisking.com) has some compelling arguements against the integrated headset. Our own Bunnyman I believe is also strongly opposed to them. These arguements seem pretty valid. My question, then, is why do the vast majority of (larger) bike manufactures seem to be going the integrated route? Marketing I suspect. I see $2000.00+ framesets with integrated headsets. To me, a buyer of a $2000.00 frameset would in theory be pretty bike savy and thus not be interested in an expensive, high-end bike if it comes with an integrated headset. Are integrated headsets really that bad?
