These were a bit rough and had a giant seam on the bottom of the bottom bracket shell. If this bike is the early 70's vintage I guess all the braze-ons have been added and hopefully the seam filed off! I remember the BB as being French threaded and sure enough the picture shows 35X1. I don't know what that means for the headset. Beware a replacement English threaded fork? I do not know why so much thread is showing on the adjustable cup. Hard to imagine a big toe clip overlap problem and so what.

Brown's and Mike Kone's vintage bike thumbnails, where Crescent/Monarks are
discussed. The dominant theme was poor finishing work and toe clip
overlap. Did the toe clip overlap apply to all frames, even the big ones?
