I'm repairing an old mid-50's Schwinn Traveler 3-speed (metallic forest green with the word Schwinn in eagle feathers - very cool!!!), as a favor to Mrs. Road Fan's workout buddy. I think it will need a headset. Don't care about NOS, but what are the requirements for headsets for these old Schwinns? Sheldon's site seems to say that BMX headsets will fit. Is this what he's saying? Is it correct? If you've found a replacement that works, please tell me about it.

I could also use a seat post that fits the original saddle, with a very narrow bracket.

Thanks in advance,

Road Fan
