Had a few set backs. I serviced the headset this week and the crown race was very pitted. Annoyingly the crown race from the original old Japanese headset is really tall so none of the races we had in at the shop or other local shops worked.
I ended up taking a dremel to the original crown race to remove the pitting and then smoothing it back by hand. It has been mostly successful and the headset now functions at about 80% smoothness. I will do some more hand work to get it perfect .
The Dia Compe 610 brakes i ordered were just too short, so I'm having to go with the cheaper 750's instead. I've swapped out the stock pads for v brake pads to get more adjustability.
