Not sure if this bike is vintage but still need help
I have a 1991 or 1992 fuji tahoe that is neon orange. I love this bike but the problem with it is the top nut on the head set striped and I need to replace it. The other part of that is I lost the nut so I dont know what size it is. I need to know what size nut was used on these bikes for the head set thanks

Probably 1" threaded. Post a good pic and we can probably tell from pic, or you could use ye olde quarter test.

Photos aren't very good for determination of size but kinda looks like 1-1/8". Try the quarter method above.
Wait for that page to load and it will auto scroll down to the spot in the page.

Put cam on tripod or chair, bench, whatever, about 3' away from subject. Those closeups cause distortion. If they're not overly distorted then it does look like 1" threaded, however.
If you have calipers in the house you could...
