Thinking about getting a chris king headset - it's 1" threaded I need, but I'm baffled by the difference between the gripnut and the 2nut. I'm not running headset spacers or cable hangers on my fork steerer, and I'd be replacing a campag chorus headset (which I'm struggling to find the stack height for, but if its the same as the record then its 38.5mm).
On the CK website it says the 2nut has a stack height of 37.4 and the gripnut is 33-38mm. Which would be best? And am I going to end up having to saw 1.1mm off the end of my fork steerer to get it fitting nicely?
Another noob question: I've looked about a bit and it seems like grabbing a buy-it-now off US ebay for $124 might be the way to go - anyone got any better suggestions?
And FINALLY... which colour to go with this frame? Ooh it's exciting.
