The only time I came across this was when I had my Marlboro BMX. I fooked the frame so bought a new frame and fork. The stem wouldnt go down the new fork, yet was an SR burner type. I would agree with nobby above the headset isn't totally complete has it should. Bummer..

GavinDavis:
The local bike shop tried various 1" headsets and nothing fits???  The beartrap is as near to fitting as it gets.....but the owner is saying that he's reluctant to run a 1"x24tpi die down the thread just incase it ruins the thread :(

What choice have I got??....He even tried a bloody french one!! lol.  Im just gonna say go for it and if it knackers the thread then so be it.... :(

Gav - have the forks been re-chromed ??? They look like it to me.....

If so,  I have an idea.
