Classic & Vintage - Shimano-Campy Headset compatability...
11-28-08, 12:49 PM Good news, everyone! I got rid of my big 58cm
grey Trek!  I sold it to my good friend for $60, then bought a
49/50cm Trek fro $60. It fits so well! Woohoo for bikes that
work! I don't have to jump into the saddle like... Like with
horses. It's altogether an amazing thing! But the bike is also
pretty gnarly.. Here's a photo, although it doesn't do the
damage justice. It's really, really chipped and rusted and,
well, just gross:  Anyway, I'm making this my first complete
overhaul, I'm going to get it powdercoated, throw some new
decals on it, (probably pretty non-Trek ones, would that be
forgery..?) clear it and replace all the shimano stuff.  It's
got a Shimano 600 headset, and I was wondering if it could be
replaced with a Campy NR headset. Would that need to be English
threaded?  Also, any suggestions, advice, parts offers, etc,
would be apprecieated. I'm excited for this one!  -Nick Skaggs
