At the time, Nashbar had a 1" JIS threadless headset (Aheadset I think) but it looks like they no longer do. Can you can mill your fork down and ream your head tube out for an ISO headset?

I think that exceeds my current skillset as a home mechanic. But if I can't find someone who currently carries a JIS threadless, perhaps it'll be the only option. Is a milling/reaming job of this scope something that should be a routine job for any LBS?
