When I wrote the update, I went back and forth over justifying the purchase and in the end couldn’t really think of a strong argument for or against it, so left it out. A friend had one on his fixie a couple of years ago and I found it funny. I got the link for this build so that I could get the fork on and try a bolder colour on the frame at a lower cost. I'm still unsure whether it suits or not.
There's something about paying >£100 for a headset that feels a bit trivial when this £15 one feels great, but there are plenty of other headsets out there for under £20. Saying that, I recognise King components aren't priced as such because of 'feel' so much as quality and design so even writing this feels daft.
The more I go back and forth, the more it seems like a peculiar choice. I put it in the first line of the update to make it clear that it wasn't genuine, and even mounted it upside down to invite conversation about it. Open to hear your thoughts!

Why the fake headset?
