Title: Headset help - Tange frame - mini / jr
Post by: ruff n tuff on September 22, 2012, 12:28 PM: A while ago I bought a NOS Tange mini / jr frame and forks and am trying to build it. Only problem is finding a headset that fits. The head tube has an inside diameter of 29mm.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the tip. Does that cup have 30.2 (as in millimeters) stamped on the sides? If so, it will not fit.

If you're interested in it, drop me a PM. :daumenhoch:
