Just a foolow up, Bendix mentioned the Pyramid's being 21.1(also a 27.0 JIS crown race doable but not desirable in my view), true and it jogged my mempry of having bought one and stored it away cuz I couldn't use it with a threaded to 1 1/8 threadless adapter. Think I got it off the bay cheap but a no return policy.
Below is a Pyramid with label
Here's one that used to cost a bit more and ended up buying arfter I got the Pyramid but they were from a NorCal outfit, big sellers on the bay, outwardly except for the noticeable heftier leg size on the non-Payramid they appear the same down to the fork ends, got it for my Klunker project which will someday be finished has the 22.2 stem steerer tube and more desirable 26.4 mm crown race.
Here's the 22.2 adapter and a pic putting it in the non-Pyramid, can't get it in the Pyramid of course.
Steve if you want to try the Pyramid, PM me I'll send it to you as I won't be using it.

22.2 hl fork
good to know about that hsin lung cruiser fork! J&b (the distributor of the 'pyramid' brand stuff) has a couple inexpensive headsets that use the same bearing retainers. one has a 27.0 race and road/mtb cup size, one has a 26.4 race and bmx cup size. they're so cheap you can buy one just for the 26.4 crown race and not have to mill or file the 27.0 fork

The other probably is Hsin Lung no markings whatsoever though. I've had to mix and match the Pyramid heasets for some of these before. Seem to remember the cup diameters were wrong with the 27.0 race set at least for Schwinns.
