Headset adjustment

An old inexpensive steel frame from the 1980s. The headset adjustment seems to be appropriate. When stopped standing beside the bike, the handlebars rotate freely and smoothly. But when riding it, steering is stiff and sluggish. The only thing I can think of that would cause this is the upper and lower bearing cups being reversed. But they’re not. Is there anything else that could cause this?
