I've bought a frame and fork, so to kick off I need to put a headset on, I could do with some advice on whether I should get cheap Tange headset or Campag Record. Really looking for a black one threaded 1" -and is this something I can fit myself from each person I ask I get either one of these two stock responses:
"Bit of wood and a hammer"
or
"Pro job with clamp, that'll be £20 please sire."
Whaddyareckon?
Here's the frame: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170373736947&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Got a bit anal and did a spreadsheet of the dimensions (sheet1) and some component options to put on it (sheet2): http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0ApJED4wxX4BqdFdCSFVsR3NibmZCbnJnTHpjdmQzZGc&hl=en
Any help or comments would be helpful - even if they're to slag the whole thing off I could do with a laugh.
