Hi everyone!
I love to ride my bike, but I am generally clueless when it comes to maintenance and mechanical stuff. I am currently building up a 2003/2004 Willier Izoard (bought via this site from Pedro!) and am not sure what type of headset I need. I would like a Chris King headset, because I have heard good things about the brand and like how they look. I was hoping some of you pros out there would have some answers just by eyeballing some photos. 1 1/8" integrated? Semi-integrated? Etc. I've done a fair amount of poking around online to see if I could figure it out myself, but I still am not confident about what type to use.
I'll supply more data if you need it!
Top of the head tube. About 44mm across the inner edges.
Bottom of the head tube. About 44mm across.
One more question. The paint on one of the cable guides (if that's what this is called) has flaked off, leaving some nastified aluminum underneath. Any good tips for cleaning that up? Since taking this photo, I've gently brushed off most of the corrosion.
Thank you, and I hope to see you on the road soon! I've just started riding again recently after a few months off the bike and running on mountain trails instead. I'm already getting ideas about another Ome Temple Loop run in late March.
