• @MCamb - I hadn't seen those Origin8 ones; their website doesn't list a chrome version so I wonder if it's an older model or custom? I haven't checked with all the LBS; one couldn't source Nitto components so I'm not too confident... worth an ask tomorrow I suppose.

    @M_V - that flat crown BLB fork is why I'm seriously considering using an adaptor headset... as MCamb suggested I'm gonna give them a call tomorrow to see what they say.

    @JamJam - yea I'd spotted the Tsunami ones as well but am a little hesitant. I didn't think to look at their reviews on alibaba.

    FWIW, I used headtube shims to fit a 1" steel fork (+ threaded headset and quill stem) to my Principia Track Jet when I had it, for a bit of a Cannondale Track look. I really liked the aesthetics and the ability to change from drops to risers with the turn of one 6mm allen key was good but you know, threaded headsets and quill stems are probably an acquired taste. I think it'd suit the Gaz pretty nicely though.
