I just happily posted to the "What did you get in the post today?" thread because I am happy with what i got, but I am not as knowledgeable about it as I would like to be. So...

Can anyone tell me about the Hatta Kranz headset? Everything I can find is about the Swan and Super Swan, which seem to be both steel and both very nice. I think Hatta units were rebranded [as] Suntour Superbe. I have also read some stuff about cheaper Hatta headsets. But this is none of these.

Info on the Kranz i can't find. It is aluminum with steel races, and seems very well made and machined. It weighs 110g, with the original grease, which is quite respectable in my book. Probably 1980s with the angular design.

My example is NOS, spec JIS (it is going on a 1977 Koga Miyata Gent's Racer). It just worked well with the frame, I thought, which is why I bought it. And the price was fine. But I would love to know more about it. Thnx.
