Think the main difference is the top nut isn't stamped.....

That seller has loads of them. He just lists a few at a time but when they sell out he will post another bunch. I've had those in my watch list for over a year and he always does it. Didn't realise they were new ones but that would explain how he keeps getting more.

The old ones come in a white box and the crown race goes on a whole lot easier. The locknut is indeed stamped on an old one and printed on the new one :daumenhoch:

I bet you're the seller ed  ::)   :LolLolLolLol:

They are great headsets. Did they ever stop making them? Not fussed on the head nut though as I always use a locking nut

i like to think of them as a continuation of the headset rather than a new one,i dont think they ever stopped making them but is a big bummer that the top nut isnt stamped :-[

I'm not selling them! didn't realise they were not old uns though... I line my tyre logos up with the rim decals or tyre valve but don't think I'm anal enough to care about the unstamped nuts.

i imagine so Mark  :daumenhoch:  single speed and fixies are huge at the moment, so maybe the reason for bringing them back  ???

Izumi have never stopped making chains. I think they just jumped on the same band wagon as everybody else regarding old school stuff. They still had all the stamps for the links so it was easy for them. Still only in limited colours yet and few and far between regardind which is available  ;)

Still better than the DC re-issue junk  :crazy2:
