Powered by my legs

Bloody headset's rusting. And the thing is, I don't want to get a new headset in case I do swap out the frame in the future, since different frames use different headsets (mine needs a funky Zerostack internal headset, not that common) and even then, they aren't easily transferable from one bike to another.

Opened it up, and phew, the bearings still look decent. Worn, but still no water damage. Plastic umbrella-like thingie to keep out the dirt has cracked too.

Why do all my bicycle parts die on me?

Now I'm again tempted to get a new frame. The Giant XTC Team ain't too bad...
