Wanted Nice and light 1” threaded headset

[Mod-Master]

1” threaded

A mavic would be nice but probably too expensive…

I have a 1 1/8 threaded xt to trade if needed

Have a 1” xtr - currently installed in a old no longer ridden frame if interested could remove sort images + price ? …

Mavic are well worth searching for btw used 2 of them on my bikes in early 1990s

Hi, xtr is threaded yes? Probably too high spec xt is the level really, what is the unused frame?

ok - keep searching for Mavic - I sold one on here for about ?£40 I think,

Need to edit my earlier original post headset to clarify that headset is in a used frame not being used if that makes sense?

H’set: £82 posted



The frame itself is 1988 Saracen Trekker (my Dad’s & also ridden by me) … in nice condition for age but definitely well used! sorry for poor writing above in earlier post.

Oohhhhh

That’s certainly nice

I may stick it out for a mavic as thinking about it that would look the business…

But, if they are for sale, how much for 1 or both u brakes? I think double U brake would look awesome

Double U-brakes were awesome !

As were double Saracen Trekkers!

Had not really considered selling U-brakes separately without Saracen Trekker frame-set attached / inc. as a package. But realise most sales on here are generally parts only.

Am currently off-bike / work with broken collar bone so planning on putting up some for sale items soon - although obviously moving quite slowly just now!

What would you put them on? they will not fit on your Kona.

no?

No modification I can do?

Sorry not really sure on what brakes fit what and all that

The Mavic headsets have a pretty tall stack, might be worth checking how tall you can go (fork steerer tube length minus headtube length in mm).

This NOS Specialized alloy pro is pretty light ;-)
