Er, your post is titled threadless but that things got a big nut on top... nut = THREAD if I'm not mistaken? If you're after threadED, then you can buy a Shimano 105 from Ribble (and 100 other places cheaper probably, don't all rush at once guys) for under £20 and they are really smooth and don't look bad.

Could be fake nuttage..

could be, but then it's got that protruding seal on top, doesn't really hang with being squashed down with the old top nut thingy...

You use an incantation from the 4th Book of Spells to hold it all in place. The cap is just for the retro stylee..

SHIT, ABORT!!
I post at work, gimme a break!
I do want threaded, not sure why I did that. The reason i ask about this one is that it's more to my taste, but can't find any

can't find it at Hubjub but Freshtripe sell 'em, the spec seems OK on paper but never seen one close up... should do the job OK, certainly has a nice retro-ish look.

I meant freshtripe. What a clusterfuck, I think I overdid the coffee yesterday!

Chas Roberts has EDCO sport headsets. The one on my frame looks mighty fine, very retro with minimal markings. 16 squids if I remember correctly.

Massive diggage, apologies.
How did you get on with this headset mate? I'm looking for a tidy chrome threaded headset around £30. Ribble seem to have sold out of all their cheap campag ones.

velosolo sells them its around £20

Cheers T. I looked at these.
Are these different? (pic link not working, soz)Cheaper and different stack height.
Assume these are better then?
Ta mate.

I have the levin on my bike and its doing the job very well.
I dont know the difference between sjs and velosolo ones. seems same to me. Maybe sjs put the wrong description? campags are 36.5 stack.
Those veloorange ones might be good too I dont know that either but tange is cheaper so go for it. -

Well if the tange is working well then I guess it's a go, especially since my new build is going to be quite similar to your machine. This is a coincidence btw.
Thanks for the tip T!
£25 from hubjub and very pretty. I want a brand new but old school silver/chrome threadless headset and this one's doing it for me at the moment, and cheap.
Thumbs up?
