Steerer tube threaded piece?

member @John made threaded steerers but i do not know if they are long enough for what you need

I currently have four prewar CT frames one of which is a 20" and the others are regular. Three of them including the 20" have headtubes approx 12 1/4" long. One has a headtube that is just over 10". It doesn't look like it was cut down but these aren't my area of expertise. @REC what you say? V/r Shawn

There were two different lengths of the headtubes, and I found this out through some documents for ordering the bike from the factory. I'll look for the docments and follow up by adding them into this post.
EDIT: Note there are two headtube lengths in both the 18" and 20" frames

I have asked myself that a thousand times, and can't figure out a really good reason. The difference seems very slight. Oddly enough, my 20" CT that I bought from you has the shorter headtube.

After you've seen the difference, t becomes much more of a focus looking at others.

My guess - Schwinn's position was "we aim to please, this needs to be available as we don't want to miss"

This looks like the headtube on my ct.
My top bar is curved and not straight like this one.

So, you need a fork? There is not a "separate steerer tube threaded piece". The fork's steerer tube can be replaced.
Do you have your original fork?

 

[tuscankid]

yes, need to replace steerer tube.
I have a neighbor who is a certified welder who fix steerer tube, if and when, I get one.
