Hey everyone,
I have a 1995 Bianchi Eros I got off craigslist and the headset is cracked. It's all stock so it's a Miche headset. I need to buy a new one so my question is..is it a 1" threaded or threadless headset I need to look for? I can't seem to find component info anywhere for except bikepedia but it's not very specific. Do you have any recommendations for a good quality headset? I am setting it up as a commuter/touring bike with a new stem, handlebars, brooks saddle and bar tape. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Be safe out there!

I am pretty sure that is a threaded headset. It is easy to tell; I'm assuming you have a quill stem, like this:

If so, you have a threaded fork/headset.


A threadless headset looks like this


There are Miche headsets on ebay, both threaded and threadless. I'd just go with one of those.

My 95 Campione d'Italia is basically the same bike. It's threaded. I replace mine with a Chris King last year. Not cheap but very smooooooooooth.

Yes it is a qill stem. Funny cause I bought one for my schwinn prelude that I converted to a fixie but since it came with the headset I had no idea the difference :x Horrible I know. I appreciate the replies and will be shopping for a new headset.
BentLink thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep that in mind

Thanks for the help I really appreciate it
