• Good point, I’ve no idea. £100 is more than I’ve paid for a headset :) But it’s a pain finding French threaded non-reproduction headsets, so I guess it depends if someone else really wants that 1st Gen C Record for their Pug or boutique ex-velodrome track frame...!

    Hopefully the seller offers you a decent discount in any case.

  • Its way more than I have too in the past tbh. Thing is I missed out on a VGC 2nd gen used headset for £75+post so for peace of mind thought I'd stump up the extra for a NOS one, as you can never be sure of condition on second hand headsets. Also thought I could sell the old one for a decent amount too so ends up not bing that much.

    Just gonna send it back for a full refund as I can't risk the gamble on waiting out for weeks for the right buyer to make a small bit of profit.. I'm annoyed as this 1st gen has a better aesthetic with the less cut out bits for the wrench and would've matched the sugino 'popes hat' locknut I'm polishing up.
