Purple American Classic 1" Threaded Tri Lock Headset

Selling a very rare American Classic tri-lock headset in even more rare purple/violet color. Overall in good used condition, some lights scuffs and signs of use and a bit of fading from the years, but overall very presentable. The bearings could use some fresh grease, though they may also loosen up with use as they have been sitting for a long time. $100 shipped CONUS and it's yours!

See what happens when I show a set of purple Ti security skewers! Very nice but not the right time...

Might want to include stack height.

GLWS!

That is hot! No way I could pull off that look. Looks like a bottom bracket adjustable cup pin spanner could be used on that. Is there a specific tool?

You can use a spanner, but you can also just use your hand, then you lock it down with a hex key

Do you know how stack height compares to a Dura Ace 7400 headset? I have a bike that this would really go with well.
