Think I've found the right one on ebay...

It's the headset that OO says the selcof one is a replacement for, so sure it's the right one.

Have you just made use of the ~£255 deal for the frameset, or are you replacing an old headset?

I know I shouldn't really, but that frameset price with SECRET15 has got me very tempted to try and build one up. Just struggling to see many reports out there of what the frameset is like, I really don't want to buy something with shocking QC like those London Roads that were sent out to people with way out of spec seat tube sizes!

I'm very close to clicking 'buy' with that code it'd be rude not too.

Just unsure if I should go full monty sl or London road sl...

London road looks to have rear mudguard and rack mounts at dropout, full monty looks to only have one set of mounts there.
Forks look same.
Geometry is almost the same. 0.5 here and there.

I thought they look very similar. I'm also weary on the QC on them and like you say there doesn't seem to be many around despite being available for a while I believe.
