Skandia labelled MCB products seem to be a bit uncommon. A local to me cycling friend took in one in the factory colour scheme of orange with white trim. The frame's metal and its paint finish look just like a Monark 319 or 320 from the early 1970's but the name on the bike is Skandia.
Lower model MCB cycles often employed a headset from Agrati. IIRC the 319 used Stronglight and the 320 employed Campag, during the early '70's at least.

I have read that they used this orange color, which I really like, for their higher end models. The one I have was apparently called the "Pepita Special"... great name too. Thanks for the info on those headsets... maybe I have to actually find some old stock headset if I want to keep that fork. In the meantime, I have installed a modern fork to keep the bike on the road, since this is my daily rider.
Thanks again for all the info, fellas.
