The stock Stronglight headset on these is the P3 - Chas. Colerich/verktyg has written about how one of the primary differences between the TdF and the Super Corsa was the former had the steerer cut for the low-stack P3 while the SC was cut for the taller Campagnolo NR headset.

The P3 is actually a very finely-made, durable unit.
