I wanted a "pretty" Gold Anno Headset for my O/S racer (or in my case O/S snail ;D)
I've got Chris King parts on my MTB and just assumed that all their gear would be good ???
I've thought about the Tange 125....but I think it may take a while for a gold Anno one to turn up plus I'd heard they work loose as well.
I agree about the "for that money it should work" comments....but I tend to put a dab of threadlock on most fixings on my bikes (BMX and MTB)

For practicality if it's for a rider I'd concentrate on steel cupped headsets ;) .

Really lilke Epoch's Look very GT orientated though and a bit out of place on non GT bikes to me.

They were supplied on some GT completes but were a seperate manufacturer as far as I know , I thought the discussion ^^^ was what worked or did'nt ? ;D .

Yeah I am saying I really like Epochs-just look not quite right on non GT Bikes (humble opinion) as the seem made to be together :)

just stick a beartrap on it and be done with it - if you were show ponying it then i would go for the CK or a 125LP but (and i speak from experience) the last thing you want when putting your front wheel against the gate is that 'donk' as the loosened alloy h/s moves...
