polanco:
wow, brian, I couldn't have said it that well myself!I cannot ride the smaller wheelbased frames as well, even if I use mostly modern components,the idea of such a cramped bike is beyond me,I suppose size does matter here, even if Im only six feet tall(not exactly the chris young,trevor meyer size),awesome riding pics!love the q bars!I have been using the mixed school approach since when mid school was new school,lol, and it works!right now Im using a tao though,so I dont need many mods,but I rode morales's frames with the aheadset mod for years!
Muddy:
Anybody wanna build one of these for me and tell me how much it is shipped to 10016? i really want one of these headsets to use on my old school bike but i never had any luck with it.
CatWeasle:
Hey, I have an idea,
to use sealed ACB bearings to do this.
I am going to get some custom cups turned out of stainless-
that fit these bearings:-

The cups will go on the outside of the headtube.
Thanks for original idea!

Just letting everyone know (as cool as this original thread is) is that AHeadSet (Cane Creek) has modified their 1" and 1 1/8" headsets so that they all use interchangeable parts. They also now sell a conversion headset but it's hard to find. Or you can buy two of their relatively cheap headsets ($24 MSRP) one in 1" and 1 1/8" and interchange to get your 1 1/8" steerer into an old 1" frame.
Pretty neat. Here is the link to the diagram of parts. Some of the supply houses carry all of their individual parts but it's probably easiest to just buy two in my opinion:

And here is the link to their configuration page that shows the adapter head set. It makes a lot of sense to me.. :)
