Stronglight B10 B Hinault headset
 
Except for the fading lettering on the lock nut, it's in good condition.
The crown race and one of the fixed cups are plastic, it's very light.
English threaded, 26.4 crown race.

$40 shipped to the US.

I'm glad you beat me to it, :). This along with the stronglight A9 is a really fine headset.

That's an A9 headset; the B10 had Delrin cups and race seats:

Yeah I was wondering about that actually. I run A9s on a few bikes and I have the B 10 on one (a 1984 Trek 610).

Damn it, I haven't even finished my first cup of coffee and I'm already wrong about something.

Forgot to mention, the top locknut is most likely from a B10, but those were identical to A9 locknuts, except for the "Hinault" model branding.

Ypu're right; I hadn't noticed that. :(

Both A9 and B10 headset were available with the Hinault branding. We went through thousands of them at Trek.

The headset was from a Trek 720.
