Hi there,

Sorry for resurrecting the thread, but i have a bit of a question regarding the headset/bearing replacement for this?

I've picked up an old concorde that is in need of quite some work. I went to a local bike shop today and the guy recommended replacing the entire headset (one of the bearings was, in fact, missing!). His comments suggested that a 1980s frame would need pin bearings and an older style headset. My scant knowledge of the particulars of bike parts didn't fully register what would be so significant about this, or how or where to find these.

What was your approach here?

Cheers,

Alex
