Tange re pro Mx headset question

[catman79]

Gents, I’m currently in the process of restoring my 81 supergoose, i was on the lookout for a decent mongoose stamped headset, which seem to fetch silly money. I’m now toying wit the idea of fitting a re pop tange headset, but not sure which one might be more correct of that age if any, the Mx320, 125 or 5. Any ideas / suggestions?

Not sure if this helps at all. This is a listing pic of a Tange catalogue I bought on eBay recently. It’s not dated but I think it’s pre 1983. Another page lists only the sc-1 seat clamp. I’m sure there’s more catalogue stickies on here too.

Check out this 1983 Tioga catalogue Paul shared

Personally I would go for something vintage rather than fit a reissue part unless you’re set on the idea. A classic Tange AW-27 or MX-II would be a suitable replacement and shouldn’t be silly money

thanks for the input guys, ive actually plumed for a tange aw 27, which is a really nice bit of kit, even has the era correct motocross stamp on the top nut. will be prefect untill  i find a nos or minty mongoose head set.
