Description:
The historic foundation of Shimano’s flagship racing legacy, the first-generation Dura-Ace 1" threaded headset was designed in the mid-1970s to challenge the finest European components in professional competition. Crafted with induction-hardened, mirror-lapped bearing raceways and high-tensile chrome-finished steel cups, it offers exceptionally smooth steering response and immense fatigue endurance under race conditions. Sized to the 1" ISO standard with a 26.4 mm crown race, this headset is a rare, investment-grade component for top-level early Dura-Ace builds.
