Incoming questions!
So, I found that the fork on the ‘62 Sports is totally buggered (I knew that going in), so I will have to use the fork from the ’73 Sports instead (hope it matches up). I still don’t know how standardized the various components will be. One big difference between the two headsets is with the top bearing race. Here is a shot of the ‘73 race.
And here is a shot of the’62 race.
The older bearing race doesn’t have the “cup” that the newer ones have (my ‘65 Sports has the cup). So, is there a part missing? Is this how the race should look on the ‘62? If necessary, will I be able to swap out headsets? The 1962 frame is looking pretty good and will shine up nicely. Thanks for bearing with me as I go through these old bikes. I appreciate the help!
