Chris King might still make them. Alternatively, NOS headsets from eBay (particularly .com) or put a wanted ad on retrobike.

Interesting. Not even mentioned on Sheldon Brown and a bloody big headset for a commuter.

Makes you wonder if you could get some threaded inserts to allow you to use a standard 1.1/8th press fit.

Failing that try the bikestation up the road.

Al I got these last year for a 1 1/4″ Gary Fisher Prometheus, takes it down to 1 1/8″ to give more variety of fork etc.
