Out of curiosity - why the preference for external headset on metal bikes? Is it the lower diameter head tube?

You need a tapered head tube to have an internal cup headset on a metal bike. Some builders like No22 do it but I dislike the look a lot. For me, it's just aesthetics.DHG01 wrote:Out of curiosity - why the preference for external headset on metal bikes? Is it the lower diameter head tube?
