Raleigh Triathlon headset

[pauldowker]

HI, I've been gifted an original Raleigh Triathlon bike and i'd like to continue with the refurb that I've started.

This will be my first retro build so I'm slightly in the dark.

My main question is about the headset, is it English or French thread?

I've found vintage velo online and want to buy some parts as they have a fair amount. I've looked online and can find lots of pictures but very limited information apart from 'Peugeot Chromed'

Many thanks for any information you can give.

Re:

Never come across Vintage Velo before - some nice stuff here.

Keep an eye in the FS forum here though and even eBay to and you wont have to sell a kidney ;-)

Raleighs are English headsets, apart from the lower end ones which used a unique Raleigh thread and headset.
