Ah ha! Clever... very clever.. I see what you did there...

Beautiful 600 headset went in perfectly, but then a few things needed sorting, I didn’t realise that that the Nitto bars had developed some surface rust on the welds, so that needed sorting, then a slight panic ensued as the left crank didn’t clear the near side stay :shock:
But the chainring arm has loads of clearance, so a quick flip of the axle so that the short side of the axle was used for the drive side, everything now clears perfectly (well 3mm either side)

Now I’m off to walk the dogs, take a shower with these 1.9 Ritchey K force tyres and then a spot of lunch I think... stay tuned kids...
