Seems like it would but all I see is the frame would more likely want to go in a straight line and any bike that does not like to turn sets up some not too great handling traits. But I think the small amount would not change it very much so it would be a go. Steven

Regarding the Campy/Tange headset replacement. I was thinking of doing this until I noticed that the Tange is shorter than the Campy, and would lower the front of the bike by about 5 mm. Measuring the Tange Levin CDS from the crown race seating face to the lower fixed cup seating face, it's about 0.445 inches tall. Similar measurement for a Campy Nuovo Record, I get about .589 inches. Difference is about 3.7 mm. Is this enough to affect handling? Seems it should add to stability by increasing trail.

Two problem solvers needed:
Huret Jubilee adaptors for Campy drop outs. I bet you could sell a bunch of these but getting set up to manufacture them might be prohibitive.
Campy NR Pista headsets for steerer tubes cut too short. Especially needed when the frame had a Strada headset, you decide to run centerpulls and there's no room for the $%@! hanger because some knucklehead bobbed the steerer just as short as possible in the murky past. I know you can use a Tange, but it would be nice to be able to use a real Campy headset.

Although this topic has come up in past discussions, I would like to = know your choice.
