Picked up a Principia Rex road frame I'm going to build up but need a headset (normal push in cup type not integrated). The top part is 1 1/8" so easy to find something but the bottom cup is 1 1/4", which is proving hard to find. I can only find Chris King ones searching which are £95, more than the whole thing is worth probably. Anyone know where else you can get 1 1/4" headset (bottom bits) from? I think some older mtb's used them?
cheers
1/4"?? The 80's called, they want their headset size back!

Modern giants use 1 1/4 at the top end, not the base though so that doesn't help the OP.
it's [i]Evolution[/i]
someone somewhere must have an old 1 1/4" headset I can cannibalise...hopefully
give bikedock in belfast a call 02890 730600 ask to speak to niall or phil, tell them simon sent you and they should have 1 1/4 headsets in the workshop
(worked there and there were about 10 in a box of old stock 6 months ago)
thanks for that, will do
You can get Cane Creek lower assemblies for £35.
thanks, just managed to source a complete NOS Dia Compe one for £30 delivered, phew
