Zeus Headset

It was stuck. It would not turn. The grease had turned to hardened tar. I'll admit to using 10W40 to degrease it and free the bearings from the grease turned epoxy. Some elbow grease, Park Polylube 1000 and the headset is as smooth as you would expect a 70's bike to be. The next step, after returning from the beach, is to install the '80's campy brake levers, calipers and pedals.
