There was an interview with the guys from Pace where they suggest that Dia-compe and others were sniffing around their bikes at trade shows in the late 80s and then came out with theirs afterwards.
To be honest, theirs was far superior to Raders prototypes. At least they’d figures out how to preload and adjust simply!
I’ve got a king a headset from 1989/90 where the threads were just machined out of the top race. The previous owner used it on his pace with a custom stem/steerer so maybe he can lay claim also!
