These were an early collaboration between Chris King and WTB, combining awesome craftsmanship and the wtb grease guard system. Very rarely seen, normally on Cunningham or wtb mountain bikes. They were mega expensive back in the day and hence very difficult to come by these days and super rare, especially in this condition. The holy grail of headsets! See bikepro for a better description than I could hope to give!
