I need a headset to fit a head tube of 1 3/8 id.

[Donowprod]

I am trying to finish off my build but am having trouble locating a new chrome headset that will fit my bike. My head tube is 1 3/8 inside diameter and 1 1/2 outside. Does anyone know where i can acquire one. If all else fails I still have the original one I had powder coated but I don't like how it turned out. Also does anyone know of a good place I could send the old headset out to be re chromed? Thanks in advance.

I'm located in New York, but I have family in LA or I could send it to him if need be. Thanks

1-3/8" in bikes might be 34mm? Or larger (shim)?
i.e., about 1-1/8" headset, with 34mm cups?

Its actually around 34.9 or 35mm. I think the 1-1/8 cups will be to loose.

Now, I understand. I have acquired a ToC-style frame with the odd dimensions.
I found a guy with lots of headsets, even to fit odd Worksman cycles.
The 35 mm or 1-3/8" may be common to Canadian Ross bicycles, -eh.
