Looking to buy a french threaded 1" headset, preferably stronglight and even more preferably alloy. I would love to find one that is more of a "modern" campagnolo style design vs. the older stronglight/rfg/tdc low stack steel design. Additionally, needs to have a 26.4 crown race.

I recently purchased one of the Velo Orange ones for a friends bike and was a bit disappointed with the quality and the overall design of the pressed races. Had the original not been so worn/rusty, I would have left it on and just gone ahead and replaced the bearings.

So with another project coming up, I'm going to pass on the VO one and try and find something a little nicer. Please contact me off list.

Cheers.
