Thanks BG, it's a good colour match but the fork install was a bit of a bodge...Tange JIS fork, Tange Falcon 500 JIS headset, Reynolds ISO frame. My LBS wrench showed me a trick, taking a fine punch to the inside of the 30.0 mm cup collars, 3 light punches spaced 120 degrees to custom wedge the cups inside the ISO 30.2 head tube. Seems to have worked a charm, for now. Gotta keep my eye on it.

Thanks for the advice Bill...it's a problem in a University town when your 13 year old wants to act and dress like she's a freshman. And just try to tell her to do otherwise. Man, this is going to be hard.
