What style of downtube does it have? Aero, or round? that will be another good way of determining
your year...

Also, serial # can be used...

you say it's the green/blue corsa - do you mean kind of snotty metallic yellow-green and blue?

If so I've got one the same, and have also had to replace the HS bearings (a type fault?). And yes,
they really are 1" forks!!!

Anyway, the newer Corsa's (2002/2003 model - red?) use a Cane Creek ZS (zero stack) headset
(possibly still 1" though - think this years are 1-1/8"😉, but the early one (wasn't 2001/2002 first
year the corsa went to a compact frame?) uses an odd-ball 1" Tange headset(still 'zero stack' like -
in that it has hidden bearing holders pressed into the frame, not a 'true' integrated headset).

Anyway, if just the bearings are shot (I had the lower bearing basically disintegrate) you can
source bearing sets off Avanti (get your local Avanti dealer to order them - about AUS$50 a set).

If the actual cups are dodgy (or you just have a bad feeling about the Tange HS and want something
else) apparently the new Cane Creek ZS-2 and ZS-6 _is_ still available both in 1" and 1-1/8", and
the 1" model _should_ go straight in with your 1" fork (head tube interface specs are the same for
both CC and Tange according to my friendly local avanti-savy mechanic)

Personally I've had 3000+ km trouble free since I replaced the bearings, so I suspect either a rogue
bad bearing, or bad initial installation/maintenance (I brought the bike used and the bearings were
shot when I got it). I am however tempted to grab an extra spare set of bearings now while they're
still available!!!

Thanks John for the info i will look into the ZS2or ZS6 ..Yes i bought the frame secondhand too and
the bottom bearings have collapsed also ..The cups do not look to flash either...

Thanks again
