Just fitted my first Headset! A Nuovo Record in perfect condition I scored on ebay for the Montello. Put both cups in the freezer before fitting and they almost went in by hand. Secured them with a homemade headset press and fitted the crown race to the fork with a block of wood and a mallet, Cant believe how easy it was, glad I tried as my LBS quoted e £25 to do it. I have new grade 10 bearings from simplybearings, maybe overkill but the next step down was grade 100 . I hope these will last a while .
Forgot to mention I also sprayed the inside of the frame with rust prevention treatment. There's no signs anywhere on the frame but thought i should protect it through winter.
