Hi there, have dug out from the shed my old 1993 Marin Bobcat Trail as a project for my old man to rebuild and get him back into his workshop.

We've found a lot of the old parts, but it look like the some of the headset is missing (crown race and seal, bearings). I think its a Ritchey logic (black), so my question is can I buy any 1 1/8" threaded headset and use this for for donor parts or will I have to buy a new Ritchey logic one?

Cheers
Dan

The MARIN type headsets pop up pretty regularly and quite cheap. Concerning the ball bearings you can use almost anything thats in standard 1 1/8" inches headsets. The problem might only be the correct seal ring.
 
Ritchey Logic was certainly on a lot of models, and as it's still in production you should be fine. It's probably easiest simply to buy a new one.
 
With that said, does anyone know the headset stack height for a 21.5" 1993 Marin? (the bikes at my dads so I wouldn't be able to measure it for a month or so!)
