Headset recommendation, White Spider 1988

[Andy T]

Opinions sought for a suitable Headset for a 1988 White Spider, that has now been returned to the original metallic pinkiest of pinks that was available at the time, managed to source the original metallic pink from one of Chas Roberts original paint suppliers

It's being rebuilt with Deore MT-60, the Deore MT-60 headset is black in 1988, I think a chrome/silver Headset will be more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Anyone with a recommendation as to a suitable Headset choice, not adverse to a Road Headset if that is an option.

Cheers folks

Pink Roberts have Campagnolo headsets in my experience

and black seatpost/stems apparently.

I’ve got a few headsets that might fit the bill…

I really like the Tange Seiki headset. Comes in black or silver and is cartridge bearing. Great value too.
If you’re not set on a period 88 headset it’s a good option.

1 1/8 inch - silver

1 inch - silver

I’ve got a Tange sekei on my 1990 explosif and very nice it is too.
I always like the old mavic headsets but they’re not everyones cup of tea.
