You've got it reversed, BMX bikes use the old Schwinn headset size. I want to use a campy 1 inch headset, that's why I had the reducing shims made.
I'm leaning toward orange. I've already got some black NOS Schwinn decals. Yes, I plan on black cables and black leather bar covers.
I've got two forks I can use. A NOS DeBernardi 1 inch threaded chrome fork, and a new unthreaded Tommasini Airfork also chrome. I think I'll use the DeBernardi since a threaded headset would look more appropriate on this frame.
