any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
90's vintage 1 inch threaded headset - conversion needed to hidden style headset
Relatively speaking, this is a low-production niche item.
The way the headset uses the head tube may be hard to overcome in a "hidden" style.
I can see a lip replacing the cups top and bottom, but then there may be issues with bearing size, bearing races, and differing bikes.
The Innicycle is pretty much for 1" threaded forks. No doubt it can be done, but the machine setup, etc may not be economically feasible.
Still, would be cool to build a bike with one like that, with the stem or spacers appearing to sit right on top of the head tube. Funky.
