Yeah - it's been a real PITA, fooling with and trying to make that headset work. Oh, well.

The new Tange is the only Japanese part on an otherwise all-Italian bike. I tried trading my way into a vintage Campy headset, but came up short on desireable trade goods. What'cha gonna do, eh? I like the Tange, so I'm calling it "good" - the bike is officially DONE.

Now, to work on the Pinarello........
