Looking for a pink headset and.......
Seeing as King (fades) and CC donset offer one. I found this http://phil-wood-co.myshopify.com/pr...th-spacer-sets
I know Phil bearings are very good and this dosent seem out of line when you are willing to pay CK prices. Anyone have any thoughts?

What's not to like?
Great company, good stack height, better aesthetics (to me) than CK, good colors (I have no idea if they fade more, less, or like CK), priced right at CK level.

I think the spacers are available for separate purchase, and are not included with the headset at the $150 price.

The way I read it:
1 1/8" headset + stem top cap: $150.
2.5mm, 2x 5mm, 10mm, and 20mm spacer set + stem top cap: $30.
Separate stem top cap: $15.

Still, $30 for 5 spacers + cap is a lot better than CK's $40 for 4 spacers only.

Those are nice. They are heavy tho if one cares about that..

The tune bobo is a nice option for those looking for low stack height colors and less grams to drag around on your trips.

The horror!
Guess i could as well. Id still choose a king as i know what I'm getting but if the paul turns out to be as nice a product as they usually are then the previous obvious choice of always going with ck for a new build may change.
