Headset suggestions

minor_LEGEND · Dec 11, 2016

I'm not very inspired by the offerings I'm finding on the web for 1 1/8" threaded headsets. I'm after a nice quality, alloy unit, ideally in Black. Is there a go-to model popular with builders on here?
Its for a Diamond Back Axis build.

It looks awfully like an ahead in the pics & mentions a star-fangled nut in the description.
I had seen it in my searching, I found the price a bit steep for what appears to be old stock & specific unknown quality.

Not cheap but as good as it gets for a period correct Diamond back build!

Hmm, seeing that M-part one in the link is looking likely now.

The ebay linky of the Tioga one, sure that's correct but a lot of money for what is actually a rather poor unit.

Ha! Welcome to the world of retro mtb! Have you tried an elastomer suspension fork lately?
