I may be wrong, but I am almost sure you can get a headset, which is sort of inverted; ie, the cups are the opposite way round (cones in the frame, cups on the forks) which does the job. I think I may have one, but NOT complete. I will look 2morro. Ad

TwoBobRob:
It's no problem at all, as long as the parts are still available.....

You can buy converter cups to fit either fork into either frame.  1 1/8th forks into a 1" frame was quite a common job as people wanted the strength and clamp on stem option before having to upgrade their frame.

A ring around should see you right,  try Billys up in Cambridge - I think their distributor used to make their own converter cups.

Hope that helps  ;) :)

Don't forget to buy suitable bearings as well......

showtime:
or you need to find some mid school 1 inch threaded forks with a clamp on stem!
like superforks or kingpins ;)
