Schwinn Cruiser 1988 Wine Red

I'm just joking I haven't taken the calipers out yet

I deleted it to not cause any confusion

A 1 1/8 fork goes through no problem I tried a Chris Kong (Chinese knockoff headset) and matched it up against, it's not much we are talking about.

What are my options dear oracles

Looks like cheap shite

Shall I try to file it flat?

Or just get the rt 1?

The surface is all rounded off...it'll just bounce out....needs to be flat and square....if that's how it got supplied....

@Mickeyspinn

Could a man with a lathe (eyes you intensely) take down a headset cup size so it'd fit? Rather than me having to do anything to ze frame.

Hhhmmmmm...an alloy bodied one not a hardened steel one tho I'm afraid!
I'll see how true running I can get an old running in my chuck later.
What's all the sizes....headtube internal diameter and nearest cup size you can get?

 

[Imlach]

Internal diameter 31.7
External 37.7

Headtube wall diameter 2.19

Old cup 32.3

Cane creek cup tested 33.7

 

[Imlach]

Alloy is fine

 

[Mickeyspinn]

.6mm difference ! Between headtube bore and the cup that just came out?
