Thanks very much for the help so far.
Unfortunately I don't have the original forks, and unless I get lucky, am thinking I might need to get some forks custom made. Good news is that I have the press inserts, so I guess if I do get some custom made I can use a crown and top race from another (standard 1" threaded) headset which takes the same size bearings...if such a headset exists...??? (Obviously the clip headset would be preferable, but I might be in for a long wait if I hold out for one of those)

Re. the forks - have been in touch with Dave Yates, and am gonna give the chap at Oak Cycles a call as well - any tips or recommendations otherwise for getting custom-made forks...

Cheers.

Sorry - yep - it's a 1961 frame so 1" threaded!
Got some that will do for the time being so am gonna hold out for some that are period-correct...might be a custom job i realise...
Thanks...

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...

For a 58cm track frame. Reasonably close clearances please. Drilled or undrilled. Preferably chrome. Preferably flat crown.

(Any chance at all??!)
Thanks!

??? Is that a problem?

Look Mi-90 frame: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1792688#1792688

Think I might want this...
PM incoming

Might take the tektro brakes from you...where abouts are you based?

Rubinos if they're still available please

Price drop...

One question: why would anyone want to remove the awesome rainbow decal?

Well, it seemed to divide opinion amongst the few people i asked...
Not so here, seemingly...

Frame is butted 531, forged dropouts, paintwork in decent nick (rainbow decal is not under the laquer so will peel off!). No dents, dings, all straight and true.

Seat tube 53.5cm centre-top.
Top tube 56cm centre-centre.

Nice set of Campag friction shifters in excelllent condition.
400 LX crankset with biopace rings (also excellent condition).
Maillard hubs, suspected Rigida rims, brand new Vittoria Zaffiro Slicks. (Missing spokes visible in photo have been replaced.)
New cables, and bartape.

Chain, pedals, block (5 or 6 speed, can't remember) and gear cables will be installed tonight!

Asking £150 o.n.o. (don't be shy - would love this gone before Christmas, and would make a great pressie no?!)

Collection E5; can arrange a courier if need be.
Any questions ask away...

In case anyone wants one for/before Christmas, I will be out of London from Saturday PM.

In that case, yes please!

Hi mate, I would love to grab a smaller one and try it out if that's possible? Am London based and can meet most days. Thanks! Adam

Cool. PM me to arrange.
Cheers,
Tim

I'm out of the country at the minute, how's your Thursday looking?

Thursday daytime doable; busy later but might be fairly central...

I would take one. Just need to see if I could get it to fit around my cantilevers

Tested on one bike with cantis - it worked fine using one with the bracket mounted on top of the guard.
