Logo-less King Headsets!

Maybe this is old news, but-

Peter White sells Chris King Headsets without the King logo.

I agree with him that they look nicer that way. However, since it says he will
only sell them with a complete bike, this is not too much help to most of us.

Ahh, but you could always re-sell the bike.

Actually I like the logo.

Guess I don't get it. Do you insist on tires for your car w/o a name on
them?

what don't you get?
kcg offered logo-less headsets since the beginning
of (their) time (the late 70s?) and ended that option
late 04. through the years one gets used to things being
a certain way.

tires, otoh, never are/were sold with that choice.

You can get tires with the logo in white letter tha stand out, or plain
black letters that are not noticeable from a short distance. I prefer to
not advertise for the manufacturer. Unless the manufacturer is willing to
sell the item cheaper with their logo.

Totally agree with you.

I don't mind the small stickers on rims, tiny logos on tires, or even the
traditional makers mark on handlebars--but other than that I always
"de-badge" my bikes by peeling off the stickers unless they're clear
coated, in which case matching electrical tape does the trick. Head badges
are allowed. :P I know having the maker's logo on the down tube is
traditional, but I find it as ugly as if somebody had silk screened
"volkswagen" in half meter letters down the side of my car.

Worst offender I had was a Marin with logos on the seatpost, stem, and
bars in big black letters. It already says Marin on the downtube, what's
the bloody point? Steel wool removes silk screening from aluminium w/o
nary a trace.

Why not? Its good marketing. Since everybody and their grandma think so
highly of CK headsets, it should advertise. After all, would you sell a
frameset WITHOUT decals?
