headset for my Colnago
 
Hey guys, do you know of a good place to find a decent headset for my Colnago. It seems like all the threaded headsets on Ebay are english thread pitch. Is there another source for a good looking italian threaded headset. I know they are getting harder and harder to find, thanks a lot.:D

you really don't need to find an Italian threaded HS, unless you are a complete purist, because the threading is so close as to be practically interchangeable...unless you plan to switch back-and-forth between the 2 threadings repeatedly, as this will wear the threads down over time. Since you may never find another Italian threaded HS anyway (besides trolling eBay for a NOS Campy) why not make the switch to something like a good Tange and stick with the ISO (AKA British) threading from now on?

Oh nice, I didnt know that you could use british threading on it. Thanks, that just made things a lot easier:D

Do a google search (or similar), I saw NOS campy headsets online just the other day. Yes, new ones!!! :D

Campy, Shimano, Chris King all still make 1" English threaded headsets.
