Shimano Deore XT threaded headset 1" Campy HP-M730 NOS

Rare Vintage Shimano Deore XT Campy standard threaded headset 1" denoted as HP-M730 NOS

Brand new condition, unused

 
You are bidding for a very rare vintage Deore XT threaded 1" headset. This is a New Old Stock (NOS)  item. It is in an excellent condition. The items have only be taken out of a bike shop display case for purposes of taking photographs. 

The headset has never been mounted on a bike. The original packaging has been lost unfortunately. You may refer to the following pictures to look at the condition. These are actually VERY rare right now and it would be suitable for anyone who wants to use it for a vintage, classic or old school Mountain Bike re-build or project. The origins of this Deore XT group can be found from the mid 80s to the early 90s. Before the creation of the "XTR" group, Deore XT was the highest end componentry in the Shimano Mountain Bike groups.

I have recently found out that this particular headset came from 1998 from the Deore XT M-730 6 speed group. This headset is over 20 years old and is in its original condition!

Important: This is an older format Campy standard Deore XT headset not the more common ISO standard that we see recently.

The contents of this package includes 

• One Deore XT headset unit with all parts neatly packed
• Two brand new bearing races in original condition

IMPORTANT: This headset is intended ONLY for use on a threaded steerer tube instead of the threadless ones we normally see today. Please consult an experienced mechanic or a qualified bike builder if you wish to bid for the item. If in doubt, do not bid.

I can try to answer any questions to the best of my knowledge but please double check the compatibility with regards to your bicycle before bidding.
