OK, I've put the headset together and stuck the fork to the frame. But here's another problem....
As you can see from the photos, the steerer is too short! There isn't enough space for the locknut to screw on. Is it possible that I have to sand the paint off the bottom of the steerer so that it slips up a bit more? If you look at the picture, you can see the exposed bit at the bottom of the steerer corresponds to about the amount of tube that I need to screw the locknut on.
Any suggestions welcomed!
