Peter: David gets all sorts of interesting stuff. Sometimes there is a bit of mis-identification, but all in all he gets some mighty fine items. i have bought a few mislabeled items that were almost a steal. But, since I paid for them....well you know the rest. I just have to try to resist purchasing neat items for which I have no real use. Bruce

I bought another identical headset from this seller and it is very low quality - sort of amazingly rough (and quite rusty as well). Intended for lower-end frames, not your Folgorissima/Competizione/Specialissima. The top nut has no provision for a wrench of any kind, not even the little holes for a pin wrench -- I guess you just grab it with pliers.

On the plus side, these are fairly rare and the price was cheap.
