The bike is a 1970 P13. This is my fourth bike build over the past thirty years. The others were an Olmo, a Gios, my Ciocc, and now this Paramount, so I know headsets are a press fit, but this one has me baffled. The I.D. for the fork race is .002" smaller than the O.D. of the fork. The next problem is with the cups. Their O.D. is .008" greater than the I.D. of the head. I don't know what to do. Put the cups in dry ice? Hone the I.D. of the head? With just .002" interference, the fork race might press on, I just don't know. The collar threads onto the fork without difficulty. I believe the entire frame may have been re-plated. The frame is absolutely beautiful, cosmetically flawless, so I don't want to give it to the LBS to have it buggered with a BFH. Ship it back to Waterford? Am I missing something obvious to others? Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks again,
John
