I thought the normal ones were painted? Or are they recessed a bit then painted?

Here's one of the threads http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39812. The easiest sign is that the top-cap lettering is different.

Just HTFU and buy a real, pay the extra and feel the difference!

Hi Festus,

Nope...sorry. I was honestly taken by surprise at how fast they blew out! However: I'm getting alot of requests to "please resume production". After "integrated" came along I figured the industry and bike gurus were all morons and to just let it go. Chris King stuck it out, and now the merits of well-executed outboard design are no longer debated. Also, guys that have had STAR units for 10 years now recognize it as the best. So, I may release "revision 2" of the STAR Headset this summer. A bit more user-friendly installation and with indestructible seals. If you want to be notified of availability of new headset and another exciting product, you can subscribe to my eBay newsletter. Or just let me know and I'll add you to my e-mail list.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
