hi Harvey,

Congrats on the new toy! I hope it's a ton of fun.

The mention of the Stronglight V-groove headset prompts me to ask a question that has been unasked for a few decades... how hard was it to adjust one of those??

Were they extremely dependent on a well-faced headtube? Seems like they would be.

I think a Stronglight A-9 would be the perfect replacement. Vintage styling but with robust bearings. Great stuff. :-)
