Bringing this back up ... so is there much difference in value between the 303 and 320?

I've seen them go for similar money but the 320 usually commands a bit more.
Don't ask me for a price. In the current climate it'll be wildly different from country to country ::)

It's just that i've been looking for a 125 or 320 and last night i was offered a 303 for $160 posted to UK .. so upon starting a bit of research i found this!

Also, it looks like there could be an un-sealed version of each and a 320 without the Beartrap element.
As Glen said: 303's should have 6 sided lock-nut & adjusting cup/cone rule / 320 have 8 sided :D

Yes, an old post and, yes, it has lost virtually all of it photographs  :'( but the commentary is excellent. I think the term is necro-posting but I do not care. This is a fabulous thread, and I love this kind of stuff.

I was looking for some very specific parts at MK18, all of which had to funded by the sale of some of my most treasured parts; they had to be sacrificed for a new build.

I was very lucky at MK18, both with the volume of sales and the tracking down of wanted parts, better than I had ever hoped for. So, to the part in question, I found a Tioga Beartrap 4SL headset (red decals which made the score even the more sweet). The part was on a small stall but every part the guy had was super nice, the chrome 7x rims were soooooo lush! Ah, I did not even dare ask how much! Anyway, here is the headset:

[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The top nut is six sided, no 'o' ring and un-stamped, concerns me a little. The beartrap element of the top bearing cup is also different from other beartraps I have seen, there is no lip around the circumference of the serrations.

Anyway, loved the thread and glad to contribute...be it a few years on!

The top nut has definitely been replaced. I've got a 320 Beartrap cup but it's not at hand at the moment so I can't compare them. The locking washer looks a bit weak though. I remember them being thicker. Hopefully a few others will chip in and help on this as well ;)

A couple of pics of the Beartrap section of one of my old sets for comparison:

Super, all is well and I am satisfied that mine is spot on except for the top nut which is an easy fix. The washer is fine, I think it is the perspective making it look a bit thin.
