Hi folks.
Got a query that I'm sure someone on here will be able to help with...
Recently picked up a 1961 Hill Special path/track frame and have a headset issue: the top and bottom of the head tube are flared and reminiscent of something running an integrated headset. This means the concave curve of the outside of the headset cups needs to sit slightly inside the headtube. The curve therefore needs to match the concave curve of the frame. I have bodged together a headset from a bunch of random parts to get it running (too eager to wait!) but I want to replace it with something proper.
Any owners of Hill Specials or similarly designed frames have any recommendations for headsets that will fit?
(I can post photos if it'll help)...
Thanks in advance...
