Clockspring Headset

I found this on a late 80s Peugeot Urban Express cruiser:

The top race is held in place by a spring, which keeps the race tight. This is brilliant since these 1" threaded headsets like to loosen up on mountain bikes. The spring provides just enough tension to keep the headset well adjusted, and it's too bad that more old mountain bikes didn't have this feature.
