I would like to give a big shout out to the Bike Farmer, of YouTube fame: Thank you for featuring my headsets in your latest video about the Madison Wisconsin Bike Swap!
We all love to keep these old bikes rolling, there is so much history and joy of riding that we all share and understand. Owning something you have built and modified yourself adds a special level of satisfaction to every ride! Thanks Bike Farmer!
This is the perfect season to start building your next great ride!
This auction is for a Silver headset.
Newest generation! These headsets have the best finish and a new extra rubber seal in the upper cover to keep out the elements.
Vintage Schwinn Conversion Headset, Use Your 1 1/8” Fork With 1” Head tube Frame. This will fit some old school BMX frames too, but again please measure before ordering!
The color is anodized Silver
Use of this item requires some experience and technical skills. This headset should be installed by an experienced bicycle mechanic.
This is a conversion headset for vintage Schwinn frames made from 1950 to 1980. It is machined to fit what is known as a 1” steer tube, actual machined diameter of the headset is 32.7 mm, or 1.287”. The stack height is 31mm. This will allow a normal press fit, and matches the original size Schwinn steel cup dimensions.
This is a modern sealed bearing headset. The bearings are a standard size and everything is here, including the crown race, star nut, and top cap.
Please note this will not fit modern road bikes, which use a smaller size 30.2mm, always measure first.
The conversion headset is perfect for your Rat Rod, Klunker, BMX, or Cruiser. When you convert your old Schwinn to 1 1/8" threadless, you can use all kinds of modern forks, stems, and handlebars. This can be a big improvement in function and style.
Installation requires a headset press.
