Product Description:
This is offering is for a new-old-stock chromoly steel threaded headset. It would appear to be a serviceable unit, but please pay particular attention to the sizing information that follows, as these are not ISO spec'd headsets.
In terms of sizing, this headset has JIS dimensions for a 25.4 mm steerer opening, which means it is compatible with a 1" threaded fork (24 threads per inch) and a stem with a steerer diameter of 22.2 mm (or 7/8"). More specifically, the crown race inside diameter is 27.0 mm and the frame cup outside diameter (or said another way...the outside diameter of the head race sections that press into the head tube) is 30.0 mm. Additionally, we have been told that JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) dimensions are more common on older or less expensive bicycles made in Asia. The stack height (and we define stack height as the combined height of all visible headset components after being mounted on the fork and head tube) is a combined 38.0 mm (approximate per our digital calipers) and each unit weighs about 130 grams.
We have a small crate of these headsets, but they were individually wrapped in plastic, so they still show fairly well (with some shopwear, but still a fairly nice overall appearance). We do want to emphasize, however, that these headsets are probably an entry-level unit that should be relegated to light/moderate duty commuting, recreational riding, etc. Under these conditions, they should perform fine (and they may perform under more stressful conditions, but we just do not feel comfortable making this claim, as we do not know for sure).

Note to international customers regarding shipping...
We apologize to those that feel some of our international shipping charges are too high. We only charge actual shipping rates, but once an order exceeds a certain amount, we hesitate to use the least expensive US Postal Services First Class International service. We feel this way, because this service is not trackable or insurable...so more risk of loss. We prefer the US Postal Services Priority Mail International service for more expensive orders, because this service is trackable at USPS.com and insurable...so less risk of loss. Unfortunately, this service is more expensive, especially for smaller/lighter packages, relative to the First Class International service. We are sorry about these higher shipping costs, but hopefully our notes help to explain why this is the case.
Note to international customers regarding customs...
We also apologize to those that feel their country import taxes, duties and brokerage fees are excessive. As a small US business, we are required by customs' laws to declare each order as a retail sale. Additionally, the declared order value must be equal to total store purchases and/or winning auction bids (less any shipping costs, as these are not considered in the declared value). As a result, each customer will be responsible for paying his/her own country taxes, duties and brokerage fees, which will be collected upon delivery. Again, we apologize for these additional costs, but we cannot afford the penalties and fines that come with breaking customs' laws...so we have to strictly abide by them.
