@paulkal I bought it on eBay and had it shipped to my girlfriend who I was visiting in the US last week. Saved a lot of money in shipping and import taxes.
Got it from here. The modern ones are expensive though. This one was $95 and that was the cheapest I could find it.

Your best bet for a vintage version is older Koga Miyata frames. The GentsTour I'm putting up on Marktplaats has a needle bearing headset. I still have a Miche headset too that I wouldn't mind parting with either.



I would say it fits the build and it does take away virtually all of the shimmy at speed.
