I'd like to get bars bit hire but its a threaded headset an forks
 
very nice bike, i always like the Elan, and it came with a very nice spec as standard. it was the top of the range reynolds 501 bike (above the raleigh record sprint in the pecking order). beyond that it was into reynolds 531's, which ironically weighed the same overall as an Elan!
 
Yeh it's a great bike to start out love the original paint off white with multicolour spots, spec is good still shifts well even now was gutted about the crank but went for the tigra one as it looked an is same same size as original an i have spare biospace rings but has the upgraded of octalink not square bb would like to do a few upgrades but will see over time an funds
