Headset thread for 80's Miyata 710?
Anyone know the proper headset thread for a 198-something Miyata 710? The no-name HS I'm taking off has no markings, and I'm not sure how to tell whether it's English or JIS. Thanks.

Mine says Tange but doesn't specify whether JIS or ISO.

The differences are in the press-fit diameters where the pressed races fit into the head tube and onto the fork steerer.
This bike would definitely be J.I.S.
