I think your correct Dale, Woodrup's had a batch made by FT Bologna engraved 'Woodrup cycles', and yes they had small bearings...........
still on the topic of headsets, I have a Campag Record headset that has seen better days, but I'd like to restore it for future use, specially has its got the <C> engraved on the lower headcup, but this bearing surface is slightly pitted, is it possible to have a bearing surface reground?........it also would benefit from rechroming, which is pretty straightforward I expect. ,,,,,,,,,Anybody have any thoughts on this?
