Stronglight Galli super light incomplete plastic headset NOS for display cool!

Description: A great find or perhaps terrible find - a Galli (Stronglight) incomplete plastic superlight headset. The nut alone is probably worth the price of admission (if you need it). Threading appears to be BSC (or maybe ISO? - threads nice on a modern non-French steerer we have here). Even if complete, it seems like a scary proposition to use such a lightweight headset. This one is missing the bearings, the bearing races, and the lockwasher. This is a headset that uses needlebearings. We figure folks will buy this for display or for the top nut (which we think in aluminum) or perhaps as parts to help display a frame and fork (bearings would help but maybe you can improvise). We have a few of these - some shop wear hear and there, and you can see the nut has some writing rubbed off from handling. Figure the one you get will be similar in quality to the one shown here. The fine print: It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine if an item purchased from us is safe for use. Many items, especially vintage items, are best for display-only due to metal fatigue, other degradation from time, and vintage designs that were not subject to modern testing. If you purchase an item from us and you make a determination that the item is not safe for use, contact us for a replacement or refund. But don't use this reason is you simply changed your mind about your need for the item. You take care of us, and we take care of you! This item is being sold by Boulder Bicycle. We "failed retirement" and once again are in the vintage bicycle parts business. The staff at Boulder Bicycle has been selling vintage Campagnolo Nuovo Record and Super Record parts since the early 1990's! Note that while we failed retirement, we do plan to keep the business somewhat low key so we may not ship every day, but we update our handling time on the ebay system constantly so you'll know when to expect your item. Do not ask us to report a lower-than-actual value for items shipped internationally. It is the responsibility of the buyer to pay all customs/vat/import fees. And please don't get mad at us if the postal service is slow - we take pride on getting your order packaged carefully and shipped on Wednesday. If the postal service is slow or has other issues, we'll help with tracking and moral support, but we aren't the postmaster. ------- A note about pricing - if we are interested in accepting offers for an item, we will enable price or "best offer" in the listing. Otherwise, do not message us to ask if we will accept a lower price. We review our pricing regularly and make changes based on product availability and market conditions. You will notice many of our prices are much lower than other sellers for similar items. We try to keep things fun and informative and fair for everyone. Unfortunately, we are getting older and grumpier as time goes on - sorry about that. So if you ask us if we will accept a lower price on an item that does not have "best offer" enabled, we may block you as a bidder. Now we have to go yell at a kid to get off our lawn......
