Tange Levin NJS Headset

The Levin headset is a longstanding deluxe favourite of C&L Cycles. Tange Seiki have been making this in Japan for over 25 years, and it's a loving homage to the traditional no-longer available headsets of yesteryear. It's an NJS approved model, which means allowed for Keirin track racing in Japan, so you know it's super-tough.
