No! You need tools....LOTS of tools!
Then a few more bikes.
Heh, 5 bikes in a 4 room apartment trumps most if you calculate by bikes per square foot. Plus a beater in Philly!

I guess to me a SR headset
is special - my other bikes have a generic headsets from Tange to high end Cane Creek, but all are easily replaceable, but the thought of buying a used h/s (ewww) and paying a lot because it's old campy is chilling, but I think my shop would flip it for maybe a little less than they charge for a full install. On the other hand, to me $600 for a used 20 year old bike is a
lot (my exact size and full campy and local and I had a windfall burning a hole in my pocket), but maybe that I'm considering paying a shop $20-$30 to reposition a used part on a used frame is a bit off the deep end.
Still no idea how to id SR vs NR - anyone got a pointer?
