Overview

The Campagnolo Sport Headset (Serie Sterzo Sport) is a quintessential piece of classic Italian cycling engineering from Vicenza. Manufactured during the golden era of steel road racing, this headset embodies Tullio Campagnolo’s legendary standards of metallurgical durability, featuring precision-machined, mirror-chromed hardened steel races and cups designed to deliver decades of silky-smooth steering response.

Threaded in the globally sought-after 1" x 24 TPI B.S.C. (British Standard Cycle / English / ISO) specification, this headset is compatible with a vast array of vintage and custom lightweight steel road bicycles. Preserved in extraordinary New Old Stock (NOS) / New in Box (NIB) condition, this complete set includes all original cups, crown race, keyed spacer, locknut, the original factory-sealed bag of high-precision loose ball bearings (sorted to one-thousandth of a millimeter tolerance), and the original multi-language instruction manual. An authentic museum-grade finishing component for high-end vintage restorations and collector display.
