although it does depend also on the number of cracks the headtube has - the more cracks the larger the headtube will get.

A Manitou frame headtube, yesterday:

Hey pete, you know the only ones who can get away with saying that are the 'owners', everyone else just looks sour when they grumble. Glad yours is still a 1-piece affair.
Lookforward to seeing some pix drewson, its a classic build. We talking answer or Bradbury?

I had several breathless moments when I tried to install the headset in mine as it was quite tight and I was waiting for the cracking noise, but it never happened - I really lucked out with that frame in more ways than one!

I think putting a Manitou together is always heart in throat moment...

I remember when I was putting a BB in and heard this loud crack as I threaded one of the cups in....oh sh*t! :shock:
The lockring had actually snapped away from the cup...phew...!
