Sorry for the link but can't copy the Flickr embed link on android.

So what headset is this from?

It's a 1.5" race and does not appear to be missing a seal.

Looks much the same as many of the crown races I've seen.

๐Ÿ™‚ Yeap it's a long shot. I know it's not a hope one as it's nothing like them.

Not like the King ones I've seen as they're not coloured. Process of elimination ... ๐Ÿ™‚

That eliminates the one I was secretly hoping for then. Off to buy a new king one then.

If by some magic anyone does recognise it and has a use for let me know.

Have you tried offering it up to the bearing/headset?
It looks like a crown race for an integrated 45 degree bearing/headset. These tend to be pretty much interchangeable based on the last 3 that I've bought and fitted.

No not yet. Frame with king inset 7 headset is at work and race is at home. Will try it though. Have a friend with the same headset so can hopefully do an eyeball compare.

Looks very much like this Ritchey one.

I'd sat it looks more like a King than the Ritchie. Maybe 1.5" Kings are coloured..

Definitely not king. There were huge gaps around it when offered up to the lower cup.
