So getting a Pista frame done at Armoutex (will post pics when get it back) and I've removed the headset cups without any special tools etc. Not sure which size to buy as the replacement ? Will be using the original forks.

Also any recommendations on what to buy replacement wise that not too much cash. Thinking £50 max.

Cheers

Chris

threaded or threadless,if threaded i bought a campagnolo record 1" headset from ribble for £36,but theyve got a chorus one for £20,youve gotta spend over £50 to get the discounts free postage though

It's a threadless one, not sure of the size though...1" 1/8 or a 1"

Edscoble assures me it's a 1" threadless so I'm going with that. Ordered a Campy Chorus 1'' threadless which gonna get my LBS to install properly. As the way I removed the old one was not very pretty.

!Nhattattack!

I would be very surprised if it was 1 1/8th, as the head tube is more of a classic shape, not a modern over-sized one.

Cane creek do a nice one for something like £30

Managed to find a Campy Chorus for £35, decent price me thinks.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
