Headset Size
So i have a threaded fork laying around which the steerer tube measures 172mm and my headtube is 150mm so i have 22 to work with...can someone point me in the direction of a cheap threaded headset that would work with this? or at least tell me if it wouldn't work. Thanks

22mm isn't much. I know the Tange Levin threaded headset has a stack height of around 33mm.

Bad news, pumpkin, almost all threaded headsets are over 30mm in height.
