(Sorry, don't know how to do those blue links)

Frame: 2004 Trek/Lemond Victorie Classic, road, ti, 1-1/8 with
bearing seats machined into headtube top & bottom.
Approx 7000 miles on frame

2 pics
1: external profile of top of headtube.

2: top bearing seat (note - 1/2 mm dim. is closer to 3/4 mm).
Dark, concentric, varying-width inner ring is the machined seat
OEM-chamfered to ~45 degrees. Cane Creek IS headset. Silvery,
scratchy inner stuff is inside of headtube tube. Bottom seat is
comparable but not as pronounced. Click to enlarge to larger-than-
life.

I have read C. King's informal position paper on integrated headsets.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated, and thanks.

Pretty good photos! So, what was the question?

what's the question?

The question was, which I guess I should have restated, "Is there
and issue with the bearing seat?"

Can't believe I did that. The original question was:

Is there an issue with the machined bearing seat shown in
the photo?
