Not sure if you want to go 2nd hand:

If youve got paypal can post special deliv on monday and it will be with you on tuesday.

Dont go for the pig either - dreadful headsets, if you want one new and cheap then the sunline v1 is slightly better quality

Yeah same here, always used PIGs the sealed and roller bearing type and never had an issue with them.
Got PIG Pro DH in my DH rig now that had caked and seized bearings when i got the frame, cleaned them out and worked lottsa grease through them and they are as smooth as now.

Personally i can't fault PIGS especially for the money.

Standard 1"1/8th pigs arent too bad. Certainly good value for money!

Pig Pros are superb headsets.

The 1.5 ones are poor though, sealing is dreadful, cages collapse very easily: granted if you strip and regrease after every wet ride then it wont be too bad - saying that im anal when it comes to bike prep and i couldnt be arsed to do that  Cheesy
