The new Grand Cru 1-1/8" threadless headset has very high quality sealed bearings and alloy cups. The VO name is laser engraved on. The finish is high polish silver. We feel that these headsets are equal in quality to headsets costing two times, perhaps even three times, as much. The sealed bearings are of top quality and the finish is simply stellar. In short, you can pay more for a headset, but we're not convinced you'll get more. Stack height 28mm; weight 112gm. GC28HS$40.00 All images and text copyright Velo Orange, LLC 2006, 2007, 2008.
