Suntour Superbe Pro ISO headset - unicorn?
I am in search of a Suntour Superbe Pro headset in ISO diameter but can only find them in JIS. Did they ever make ISO diameter headsets? Are they like finding a unicorn? All the ones I have found on eBay are JIS.
Cheers,
GG

I have an SSP headset on my Springfield Special (Dutch) so I would say they are not totally unicorns.

FWIW, this 1979 catalog scan found on the internet mentions only JIS:

It may be that an ISO crown race from another model headset might work fine, but you'd have to experiment to determine this.

If you're still looking, velosaloon has one. Condition looks a bit worn, but is ISO sized.
velosaloon.com Suntour Superbe headset from the 80s
I've never ordered from them, so can't vouch for reliability.
