You would be right. I confirmed with Steve that Bingham does his Ti bikes. Wait time is only 6 months...

Yeah i’ve just been poking around in this myself. any idea what the head tube specs would be that would allow me to run an integrated / inset headset for a 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 tapered steerer??

Probably the most common Chris King headset used with a 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 tapered steerer would be an Inset 8 headset with a 44 mm straight headtube.
But different headtubes would require different headsets. What frame do you want to put it on and what headtube does it have?

Edit: I just scrolled up and saw your Walty. If that's the bike you want to use the tapered steerer tube fork on, it won't work. That frame will only accept 1 1/8" straight steerer tube forks.

Well that’s the thing, i’m going to be getting a custom TI frame and wondering how i can spec the headtube to allow for a dropset headset with a 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 tapered steerer; or if that’s even possible.

Do you want a dropset or an inset headset? With an Inset headset, you would see the bottom headset cup. With a dropset, the bearings would be inside the headtube and the fork would be right up against the bottom of the headtube.

Chris King has a tool to help you figure out what you need. https://chrisking.com/pages/fit-finder

Select Headset and then you can play around with the head tube types and sizes. It will then tell you what headset you need for each combination.

I know a little about taz' Concours as I'm the original owner. It's a 2002. I live in Michigan but bought it new from Mt. Cycology in Vermont. I saw that shop featured in a Serotta catalog and reached out to the owner. It was originally Azure blue in the 3/4 paint, 1/4 matte ti scheme. I love the Serotta Indy scheme so I had Matt Assenmacher here in Michigan paint it years ago. Main color is a light blue with navy panels and silver bands. Kestrel EMS fork. It was a great bike. I miss it but now have a Moots and a Meivici. I know it's changed hands here on the forum a few times. Hope you are enjoying it taz. Thought you may want to know a little bit of the bikes history. Added a few shots after I got it back from Matt.

Thanks Matthew. Enjoy it and get a lot of compliments. It looks even better in person - the pictures don't do the paint justice. Personally, I think my Chorus group flatters it more than your Dura Ace did

The Chorus looks great. Mine was a 7800 group with a 7900 crank. Glad to hear the paint has held up well and brings compliments still. Matt was great to work with and the cost was quite reasonable. Great to see another Serotta still going strong.

Is this the Concours I had for a bit?
