[trek_y]

A few NOS headsets up for grabs. Prices inc post.

Hope Stepdown in black - 1.5 to 1.125 - was fitted to a frame then removed so has a few marks to cups but not used - £30
Syncros FR1 in silver - 1.125 - beautifully made and bombproof headset - £25
FSA Orbit Xtreme One Point Five in black - 1.5 (if you hadn't guessed!) - £25 (no box)
FSA Orbit Z in black - 1.125 semi integrated - £20

think that Hope might be just what I need :? what is the OD of the cups please?

OD is 1 1/2" - this h/set allows you run your 1 1/8 fork on a 1 1/2 headtube frame. This is the low stack version so top and bottom cups are same. Comes with Hope Hed Doctor cap too.

Thanks, and it's a good price but I'm not 100% sure I need it. I have a GT Aggressor frame at the powdercoaters... it has larger ID on the headtube than standard 1 1/8" but I'm not sure if I need a reducer headset or just a 1 1/8" integrated one :?

the gt will be integrated or semi integrated alex, pretty sure gt haven't done an 1.5" head set yet.

yeah you're right... a 1.5" headtube on a 350 quid bike - what was I thinking? to the OP, sorry for wasting yer time mate!! :roll:

no worries.
if you need a good 1 1/8 semi inegrated then the FSA Orbit Z would be good ?
