Your classic bike also with internal cable routing thanks to Chris King

For years Chris King has been making some of the most exquisite and desirable bike components, especially their renowned lightweight, high performance hubs and steerers. Of course, as with any brand, their products are constantly evolving. As an example, their new Aeroset 3 headset provides a solution for complete cable routing inside the bike, from the levers to the brake calipers or derailleurs, through the headset but without having to have a bike specially designed for it, that is, with a conventional head tube.

A fantastic product from which manufacturers of handcrafted steel or titanium bikes will take special advantage, as they will be able to give their bikes cleaner lines, not only because of the aerodynamic gain, a secondary aspect in this type of bike, but also because of the aesthetic improvement in bikes that are usually true works of art.
