headset question
I want to replace the headset/fork on my Bianchi XL Boron from a threaded to threadless. The headtube is 1" and of course it's always ridiculously hard to find cheap 1" threadless.....
My question is this....I found this headset on ebay....it says it's a 1" Campy Record hiddenset, but the box appears to be a normal headset of the non-integrated type, and to my knowledge there is no such thing as a 1" integrated headtube. Am I wrong in this assumption?
here's a link to the auction
https://cgi.ebay.com/Campagnolo-Recor...ayphotohosting
can anyone give me any advice on this matter? any suggestions as to a reasonably cheap 1" threadless that doesn't completely suck....I'd like to spend no more than $30-40 shipped....

You are right. I don't think it is a hiddenset. If you want 1" threadless, Campy does make the Chorus 1" threadless for about $42 at Probikekit.
FSA also makes some 1" threadless versions.
However, if you go from threaded to threadless, you will need a new fork, since your threaded steerer is not a good idea to use in a threadless setup.

hello
If your reason for doing this is to simply be able to use a threadless stem, keep everything in tact and just get a threadless stem adapter instead.
