The head tube has a bit of a problem on this frame. I don't think it's because it's French (French threaded bb, original forks, which were not useable were French threaded) I experimented with cups from French headsets and there was no difference really... Headset cups fitting is quite loose especially the top one. I used plumber's tape, which allow me to secure the bottom cup ok (it actually had to be pressed in with the tape on...) But there's only so much take you can add acc the top cup just sits there and is removable by hand with no effort. Any quick fix to this problem? (Something like beer can fix or cheap/easy like that, without requiring frame builder intervention, since it's only a beater after all...)
