I was hoping Corwin would post pictures of the headset laid out, not stacked, 
so one could visualize the respective parts. And one picture I'd like a do-over 
of is the one that glares out the side of box that lists kit contents.

It's esthetically pleasing, anyways. I could do without the lettering/language, 
as I don't like serving as a company's billboard.
Are bearings cartridge or carriage type?

Nice finish, seems to be considered a good design by people who've run them on 
their bikes. Zero miles on mine so far.

Scott — Some fine-grit sandpaper or a razor blade could make quick work of 
the decals. Though I'd hardly call the eight-point font on the headset 
which you could only read once you get within a foot of the bike "a 
billboard."

that is more fun than an Ibis Scorcher is a Willits Scorcher with Schwalbe 
2.35" Big Ones.  Fixed and Plush!  In fact, I never really enjoyed fixed 
riding as much, until I rode fixed and fat.  The originals are an 
interesting insight into the influence Wes would ultimately have and so 
cool, but he really nailed it with the Willits versions as a blast of a 
bike.

About the headsets... These are WTB Grease Guard headsets. Grease Guard was a

are priced at $75 plus shipping via USPS.

You can buy a less expensive chain elsewhere - or you can buy one of these

The chains are priced at $40 each plus shipping via USPS.

 Hi -

 Posting this for a couple friends. Charlie Cunningham and Jacquie 
 Phelan have an ample store of spare parts. Today, we offer you WTB 
 headsets 
 and Sachs/Sedis chains. Please send mail directly to Jacquie: Jacquie 
 at batnet.com. Payment should be via paypal using Jacquie's email 
 address. Friends and family only please. Please do not send any money 
 until 
 Jacquie confirms your purchase.

 About the headsets... These are WTB Grease Guard headsets. Grease Guard 
 was a "thing" back in the early days of mountain biking. Charlie created 
 Grease Guard and SunTour licensed it. Wilderness Trail Bikes (WTB) is the 
 company Charlie founded and was later forced out of. These are 1" threaded 
 headsets, and are new-in-box. Each box is personally signed by Charlie, so 
 you not only get a great headset - you get a piece of history and a 
 collector's item. The headsets are priced at $75 plus shipping via USPS.

 About the chains... These are Sachs/Sedis 6/7/8 speed chains. They 
 measure 57 inches long and therefore have 114 links each. The chains are 
 new and unused. You can buy a less expensive chain elsewhere - or you can 
 buy one of these Sachs/Sedis chains, get a piece of history and help out 
 Jacquie and Charlie. The chains are priced at $40 each plus shipping via 
 USPS.

 Hi -

 Posting this for a couple friends. Charlie Cunningham and Jacquie 
 Phelan have an ample store of spare parts. Today, we offer you WTB 
 headsets 
 and Sachs/Sedis chains. Please send mail directly to Jacquie: Jacquie 
 at batnet.com. Payment should be via paypal using Jacquie's email 
 address. Friends and family only please. Please do not send any money 
 until 
 Jacquie confirms your purchase.

 About the headsets... These are WTB Grease Guard headsets. Grease Guard 
 was a "thing" back in the early days of mountain biking. Charlie created 
 Grease Guard and SunTour licensed it. Wilderness Trail Bikes (WTB) is the 
 company Charlie founded and was later forced out of. These are 1" threaded 
 headsets, and are new-in-box. Each box is personally signed by Charlie, so 
 you not only get a great headset - you get a piece of history and a 
 collector's item. The headsets are priced at $75 plus shipping via USPS.

 About the chains... These are Sachs/Sedis 6/7/8 speed chains. They 
 measure 57 inches long and therefore have 114 links each. The chains are 
 new and unused. You can buy a less expensive chain elsewhere - or you can 
 buy one of these Sachs/Sedis chains, get a piece of history and help out 
 Jacquie and Charlie. The chains are priced at $40 each plus shipping via 
 USPS.

I got a headset coming my way. I don't even know what it's for. I'm turning
50 next month, maybe I'll incorporate it into a bike present for myself!

This was such an obvious purchase.  I sat back to be polite and let all the 
smart money buy them up.  When I emailed Jacquie she still had headsets to 
sell.  So I bought a headset and a chain.  I'll sit back again to let the 
smart money buy what remains, but after my politeness runs out, I might go 
back and buy more.
