That steel Tange Leb=vin seems to be disappearing too. Anyone know of a source of the NR lookalike version?

Rivendell has the Tange Levin headsets for sale and I bought one for my Centurion resto. However, I am disappointed in the quality. Once installed, there are large gaps between the cups and the races which will be grit catchers. I ride my bikes, so I see a problem with this. I compared the various headsets on different bicycles, and this T.L. headset had the largest gap of all. It is though, an inexpensive headset and looks nice.
