I asked this a while back as well, but never got round to actually trying the solution yet  :-[

I'll see if I can find the old thread.

Thanks, guys! ;)

That "1978 melded with 2007 technology" hacking sounds absolutely doable
So off to  finding a (new school) steerer tube race matching both the forks and a 1" cup
and possibly also an old 1" bearing cage matching both the forks and the race

...and a headset a dp or ammaco could agree with  ::)

Ed, your link's approach seem at first glance a bit to advanced for me. I'd enter the Darwin awards.  :LolLolLolLol:
