Sure it is a 1 1/8" headset, and not a Bardon oversize headset. If you search the archives for "Bardon," you will see about 21 posts on that topic. It is not the same as a 1 1/8".

I have an old Motobecane tandem, and one extra Bardon headset. Sheldon Brown was very familiar with them.

The red Sutherlands has the dimensions, which I don't have access to right now.

I've always wondered if a 1 1/8" could be machined down to fit in place of a Bardon?
