1" Headset fit
I own a 1988 Trek 360. I'm having the bike frame and fork painted and I will be tearing it down and therefore removing and replacing the headset. I'm looking at this FSA headset, should this fit? I'm pretty sure it will but want that extra assurance. Thanks

The 1" threaded type is correct but the only problem may be the stack height, which isn't stated. If it's taller than your current headset and the steerer tube is cut exactly for the current one, you won't be able to thread on the lock nut. Find out the stack height of your current headset and compare it with the specs on any headset you choose. The new one should be less or equal to the old one.
