Sweet build!
On my velosuper, wich came from the XB3 factory, has some special size on the headset so it better not break..

It's usually 26mm, a soviet standard. I can get you some top/bottom cups if you'd like! I actually finished this (albeit with riser bars for now) a week and a half ago, rides like a dream!

n33rd!
Go find me a right 600EX brake lever instead of building fake and gay bikes in your couch!
Hah.. My 1981 Osaka Competition is close to finished, after lots and lots and lots of hours of restauration and servicing the 30 year old parts that have been neglected for the last decade. Basically I only need to run the cables and adjust everything. But I'm too chicken to do it. What if something is FUBAR! What if I can't stand the downtube shifters!
I should just sell it for parts on eBay and get a motherfucking assload of $$$ instead
