I was given the Peugeot frame with the headset attached. However, it was missing a brake cable hanger which is important to have for a front cantilever brake but it is also required to act as a spacer for the headset. I bought this cable hanger from
www.sjscycles.com which is a great source of bicycle parts which I regularly use. No free postage though. I get my bearings from
www.simpsoncycles.co.uk as they do have free P&P and sell Weldtite bearings in good numbers. The bottom of this headset now has new x26 loose 5/32" bearings and the top as a caged set of 5/32" bearings. Makes sense to me as the bottom seems to take the majority of the load and wear in other bikes I have worked on.
