This arrived today. I have a question about fitting a headset.
It looks like the head tube - where the top half of the headset would be pressed into - is slightly out of round. I think a manufacturing error as there are no dings or creases.
Will this make it difficult (impossible?) to press in the headset?
I’m not expecting perfection btw, on a £180 frame from the 90s - so happy to run with it.
Photo attached - if the zip tie is at 2 o clock, the out of roundness is at about 4 o clock.
