I'm in a mood. I just measured it all up and the steerer is short. Not just a little bit short but a whole inch short. Not only that but the reason I took off the old headset (Tange) was that it was loose on tightening nut and loose on the fork crown - I pulled it off by hand. It's not looking good.
Might still need to borrow this but need to call someone like Mercian to see what is involved in replacing the steerer tube :-( If it involves repainting, and I can't see how it won't, then I will be even further depressed.
