I do. A Shimano STX threaded headset with cups and new bearings never installed. It's been bouncing around in a ziplock bag since it was given to me by Kieth Bontrager when Trek closed the Santa Cruz Bontrager shop in 1999-2000. He was giving away all kinds of bike stuff. It's special. But not that special.

Can I pay you in gum? No, let me know how much. I'm just tired of riding around the pitted headset on my Cannondale.

My headset is 1" redi-rod and two coupler nuts. It's a touch heavy, but nothing will wear out.

I closed my bike shop to move to FL about a year ago and have some. What are you going to put it in? BMX, mountain, road ? I've got all kinds from cheapies used in little kids 12-16" bikes to cartridge bearing fancy ones.

Yeah, I saw the Ritchey. Unless someone has something super-cheap/free, that might be the winner. It's going in my Cannondale. The one in there is pitted, and I'm getting tired of riding around the pit.

Went fishing this weekend, hence the delay: Can I pay you in gum? No, let me know how much. I'm just tired of riding around the pitted headset on my Cannondale.

Since the headset is a shwag, can you pay me in shwag? A year of the magazine? I'll ship it FREE!
