Hi guys,
Commuting in this morning on my lovely restored Diamant racer I noticed a serious judder coming from the front end when I used my front brakes. The culprit? A cracked headset race... which, now it's broken, I notice is made of plastic. What the hell? Is there any good reason to replace a (presumably knackered) headset with plastic pieces?
Also - whilst I'm on the subject - what do you restorer gurus do about paint chip? I have four tiny white marks on my red forks and they're starting to get me down... It's powder coated... Enamel? How do you match colour?
Ta,
Don
