Rasta headset! Yes - that would be great. Ironically I have an 1 1/8th one on the Hei Hei but obviously it wouldnt fit the Thimble.

Ive enquired about threaded headsets on ebay - I have a contact who can supply black ones so I'll have to ask if he does other colours...

Ah mate, looks great..

What forks do you have lined up for it then? Mag 21SLs? This would nice if you don't find a pair of Mags with a 1" steerer.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7242295371
